    Coolest Utility of the Day Award (PInvoke)

    OK, I just had to post this link about 30 seconds after I tried it out.

    If any of you do PInvoke (Win32 API calls and the like), then you know what a pain in the arse it can be to get your signatures correct. If you translate them right from C header files, then its tedious, and if you translate them from some VB6 declaration you found on the web, you still have to change around datatypes.

    So this tool from Microsoft is designed to make things easier by doing all this work for you. You lookup the Win32 API function, you get C# or VB.NET code for it.

    This is a major time saver..

    Finally something automated that works. I hate that PInvoke site as its always wrong or never has the API definition, even on common ones.

    I think I'll add it to my sig next to the API Viewer one from allapi.mentalis.org
