Hi Dean,

You can use P/Invoke. Here's an article that will help you get started:

Here's a site that's cataloging various P/Invoke APIs, constants and
structures:

Dean,

Always be sure to check the .NET framework classes for managed equivalents
to Win32 routines. Much of the CLR is a wrapper around Win32 anyway. No
sense reinventing the wheel.

However, if you do actually need P/Invoke (or COM Interop) I highly
recommend the book ".NET and COM -- The Complete Interoperability Guide" by
Adam Nathan. There is a pretty good set of C# declarations in the back of
that book for most Win32 functions.
