Windows API now in .NET Framework.

[Pastia Radu]

I read that most of the API functions are now in the .NET Framework . In VB6
i had an application that showed me all the functions, split into
categories, including an example of usage for each. Where can I find a
smililar thing for .NET ? For example , i need the free space from a HDD,
how do I find the function that returns this ?

Windows API now in .NET Framework.

I would say that less than half of the windows api is
encapsulated in .net 1.1. While MS has gone to great
lengths to continue incorporating the win api functions
in the framework in each successive release it isn't
close to all being there yet.

I'm not sure what application you're talking about, but
for my part I continue to use the WinAPI viewer
application that is distributed with VB6.

For the type of information you're looking for, use the
WMI .net framework library. To do this, add a reference
to the System.Manageme nt library and you'll have access
to all the information that the WMI has access to.
