Hello Bob,
I just reviewed the whole post thread. In fact, this is a FAQ in .NET
programming. Many developers may feel confused where to find corresponding
..NET framework class libraries in programming. In fact, all the framwork
class library could be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en....asp?frame=tru
e
However, .NET framework class library doesn't build in all Win32 SDK APIs
or functions. That is to say, for some Win32 functions, such as GINA,
setting default printer, burning CD, we still need to use typical Win32 API
to achieve it. In order to do so in .NET programming, we provide a method
named Platform Invoke to call typical Win32 APIs in .NET application. For
more information on PInvoke, please refer to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...roperatingwith
unmanagedcode.a sp?frame=true
For this question, currently we have no famework class library support for
burning CD. My suggestion for you is to write a win32 DLL to expose
funtions that you need. You could select whatever languages you like to
develop this Win32 DLL, VC++ or VB. After that, we could call this
unmanaged DLL functions from managed .NET application easily. Peter Huang
has provided an existing sample to you. I also post some useful code slice
in the end of this post. You could refer to it.
There is currently no way to do this, but keep an eye out for it in the
future. We are looking at continual improvement, and it's this kind of
feedback that let us know what things you're trying to do, that we haven't
yet exposed for you.
Keep the information coming.
Thanks very much for your understanding.
Best regards,
Yanhong Huang

Code Slice:
Below is a simple Imapi sample that works for me. I made a console "Hello
world" project and replaced it with the code below. IT takes a command
line path of a driectory to copy, and I added the string: "e:\\CDBurn.exe "
as a known file that would be in the result.
This works for me.
// cd.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. //

#include <windows.h>
#include <objbase.h>
