Like many developers, I can remember thousands of WinAPI functions and
MFC classes. Now, as I'm moving to .NET, I need to use the .NET
library instead. For example, suppose I want to know if a volume is
compressed. I know I can call GetVolumeInformation to obtain that
information. Knowing what I know now, how would I find out which class
to use in the .NET library? Are there lists of classes corresponding
to various WinAPI functions and MFC classes? It's taken me years to
build the knowledge I have now. Please, don't tell me I have to start
over.
Thanks,

PS. Yes, I know I can still call the WinAPI functions.
