    Re: API guide to vb .net?

    If you downloaded the API Viewer from the link in my signature it will take you to the latest and greatest. I think the database latest version is 8.8.2004.

    The examples and code use is practically the same in vb.net but there are some apis which wouldnt be needed as there are replacements for them in pure .net code.

    Re: API guide to vb .net?

    Everything you need is in the link in my signature. The links Paul posted are from that same page. Just download 3.10 of the viewer and the databasae is the one that says 15.4.2004 but its actually 8.8.2004 (newer). They just didnt change their links label.

    Re: API guide to vb .net?

    15.4.04 is the date of the default database by the way. They just were lazy to change it anyway. All you have to do is unzip it and overwrite the one in the folder. It should be extracted to..

    C:\Program Files\ApiViewer 2004

    Re: API guide to vb .net?

    Yes, either too lazy or just not paying attention to their site.

    There is also pininvoke.net but its mostly useless as almost every lookup I do takes me to their site and pukes back saying nothing on file or such.

    Re: API guide to vb .net?

    The only reason i like pinvoke.net is because it supplies the user with an example as well as the definition. But yea API really isn't overly difficult anyway.

    Re: API guide to vb .net?

    But I have also found that most of their stuff is incomplete. Even the definitions are incomplete. I think its more of a wiki style site.

    Its much easier to have something locally. If you really need an example you can alsways search VBF

    Well if your restricted at school you should try just using pinvoke.net otherwise try installing it on a flash drive and running it off that.

    Thats a entirely different utility. I would use the Api Viewer 2004 over it
