.NET Forum / .NET Framework / CLR / December 2003.NET and Win32 APIs
hi, I am a bit confused about .NET framework. Does the functions avaiable in .NET call the underlying Win 32 APIs or the fuctions are implemented in the framework itself ? Also there are some different APIs available for win98 and win2000. So if .NET calls the OS APIs then does it detect the OS version and then call the API ? When installing the .NET Framework some dlls like System.Drawing are copied as "Generating Install-time code " - what does this mean ? Is it that the Dlls are copied in native code for faster execution ? may be i am missing something here. Do advice. Thanks.

Many .NET classes are wrappers for Windows API, especially the ones that have something to do with the operating system. Gabriele Inline *** Willy. > hi, > > I am a bit confused about .NET framework.
