Api in C#

[Weimin Zhang]

I would like to access my ini file from C#, but looks
like C# doesn't support the Api function,
GetPrivateProfileString() which I used to read from an
ini file in VS 6. Is there anyway to use this function,
or other ways to access an ini file from C#? Thanks.

Whilst Microsoft recommends using XML now - some of us still need to support
ini file for legacy reasons. You can use PInvoke and the Kernal.dll to gain
access to GetPrivateProfileString()

Take a look at http://www.mentalis.org/soft/class.qpx?id=6
It's a wrapper around the GetPrivatProfileString and
WritePrivateProfileString functions.

Thanks.

The dll is called kernel32.dll.
