A while back some very nice people created the API-Guide version 3.7.
(http://allapi.mentalis.org/agnet/apiguide.shtml) It was mainly written for
VB6. I am sure the proctors of this group would have heard of it. Microsoft,
I believe had a similar product but it had errors which the 3rd party version
did not. This version also included some support for .net but it was an
early version of it. I need to find an up to date version of this program or
something like it. This was an INVALUABLE tool for me when I needed to
develop VB6 programs and I need a new one for use with VB2008 .NET
programing. The original authors are not supporting it any more. Does MS have
a new version that will support VB2008 .Net. I found the WinAPICodePack for
Windows 7 but it is useless. It does not run, it was not setup to be run on
anything other than Win7 witch is no good since most people are still using
XP. etc. and I could go on.


I need a new API reference program similar to the one I mention above that
is good for ALL OSs, XP and above with support for .Net 3.5 etc.

Can anyone help with that.

Thanks for the help,

Can you not use the files that ship with .NET. They have a search
feature, albeit, not just like the one you linked to, but still
searchable. Most of the articles contain examples and the API is fairly
well documented (even better than the one you have linked).

Peace and Grace,
