Hi all:

The other day I finally sat down to write my first .NET program, nothing
spectacular just a glorified "Hello World" sort of app.

I suddenly hit a brick wall. How do I do a Beep() or MessageBeep(-1)?

I have been programming Win32 (via C++) for more than 12 years now, but
learning where things are in the .NET Framework, well, I'm not sure how to
go about it.

Is there a web site that can tell me what .NET equivalent of Win32 calls
are? Something for the absolute beginner :-))

TIA,
Martin.
 
Not really anything that good, however there is hope.

These are the sites that I have found the most useful to date. Also I
recommend a few books.

www.thecodeproject.com
www.codeguru.com
www.gotdotnet.com

Books:

Programming Microsoft .NET - Jeff Prosise
Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming - Jeffrey Richter
Debugging Applications for Microsoft .NET and Microsoft Windows - John
Robbins


I have listed the sites I found useful in order as well as the books, I
recommend all the books very highly. The third book I recommend you get
period, a good book for debugging .NET apps as well as windows native apps.
Just can't beat all the neat stuff John knows. Anyhow hope this helps.

-Enjoy!!

Well, its a start ;-)

Thanks for the pointers (or should that be 'references' in C#).

Martin.
