Api function

[simon]

In VB i have declaration for windows API function:

Private declare function timeGetTime Lib "winmm" () as Long

How can I do the same declaration in C#?

Where I can see API functions in Visual studio 2005 beta 2 and their
declarations?

Thank you,
Simon

How can I do the same declaration in C#?

1) Launch your Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera,
Netscape etc)

2) Browse to http://www.google.com

3) Enter the text below in the box:

"C#" Windows API

4) Hit the button

You could help yourself by doing a search in this newsgroup - try
searching on "API function", for instance <g> and you'll get hundreds
of links.

One good tip you will find is to visit rhe
http://www.pinvoke.net/index.aspx website - this is truly awesome...

Best of luck,
Rob

David... Please educate me on why one needs to explicitly declare the
entrypoint since you do not rename the method?

Thank you.

I was looking everywhere for this API function and I found it only in MSDN,
but without C# reference.

I download API viewer, but database of APIs I found (Win32api.txt) was
without this founction.

Can you tell me where you found this declaration or send me txt file with
API functions if I'll need something else in the future.

Thank you,
Simon
