API to NET mapping

[Fernando Rodríguez]

Hi,

Is there some document that maps API functions to .net framework's
functionality?

For example, if I want to know the .net equivalent of SetParent() or any other
api function, where should I go for this info?

TIA

Hi,

AFAIK there is not such a mapping, the API is not organized in classes as
the framework is , you will have to use the logic to try to find where the
function is defined, like SetParent, as it;s related to windows should be in
the Control class, just that it's not longer a method it's a property now !!

so you have to look carefuly :)

cheers,

Ignacio,

There is such a mapping (watch for line wrap):

Microsoft Win32 to Microsoft .NET Framework API Map -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...l/win32map.asp

However, most of what you said is true, in the sense that you have to
make mappings between the procedural nature of the Windows API and the OO
nature of .NET.

Hope this helps.
