well?

Yes.

WEll, does M$ expose the same functionality as pure API programming does? I would like to do away with the OLD way of things.

For the most part they do but not in that namespace. I've used it to access the registry and in VS 2002 the added ODBC data provider was added as a child of it.

Do you know which namespace exposes all the API's?

**Edneeis** · Jun 2nd, 2003, 02:07 PM

Well they don't expose the APIs directly or in a specific namespace. You have to do it like you did in VB6. Although I'm sure a lot of the managed code is just safely calling api calls and what not.

YEAH WELL THAT STINKS I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD CHANGE ALL THAT. OH WELL!!!
