API using emulator

[Magic Gooddy]

Hi!
Can I using WinAPI function in emulator?

Yes, You can PInvoke the WinAPI DLL signature in your application.
You can get almost all signatures in this link,
http://www.pinvoke.net/

Here is a sample Platform Invoke in C#

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Arun.

Yep, you can. Here you are some useful links for this topic:

Compact Framework"

I don't understand how to work with PInvoke in emulator. I know about PInvoke, it is works fine on device. But in emulators I have errors.

It will work if the same API is available on the emulator. As with any API,
you can't call it if it's not present. If you are targeting a Pocket PC
device and using the Pocket PC emulator, it should work. If not, you must
be specific in telling us *what API* you're having problems with.

If you are targeting some other type of device, the device vendor will have
to give you an emulator to use; we can't help you with that.
