How to use system dlls?

[Lea]

Hi all

Warnning - newbie .NET programmer!

I often see people calling functions from within dlls, coredll.dll in
the case of the CF for example, but how does one locate the methods
available and find help associated with that method?

Thanks
Lea

Look in the header file of the API you are targeting. When it comes to
coredll.dll your best shot is problably any of the open source alternatives
around (www.opennetcf.org or www.pinvoke.net). You can find information
about the methods in coredll.dll in Windows Mobile reference on msdn.

Unfortunately I'm also new at .NET - so still finding my feet somewhat!


To be honest I'm struggling a little with the vast .NET framework
itself - so I guess if you can't find it in the CF then start Googling
for the API.
