Hi,
Can anyone point me towards an online tutorial for using APIs in C#,
particulary the Odbc APIs.
Cheers,
Jason
 
Try this for starters..
http://www.aspemporium.com/aspEmporium/cshrp/howtos/howto.asp?hid=9 and
look around for System.Runtime.Interopservices which you need to reference
for API Interaction. This is C++ but the translation is pretty
straightforward to C# http://www.developerfusion.com/show/2118/, this might
work for you too http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/10/50310.aspx

BTW, if you are interested in really learning how to use API Calls in C#,
John Paul Mueller's Microsoft .NET Solutions, In Search of the Lost Win32
API is great!.

HTH,

Bill

(I'd change my email address in my post to soemthing like

solicitations to enlarge the size of your p3Nis or refininance your house -
I learned the hard way!)
 
Thanks Bill, these sources look good. I also found out today that the APIs
havent been implemented in C#, so will have to rely on my basic C++ skills.
Ive seen the book you recommend and it does look like it would be handy.
Cheers,
Jason
ps Thanks for the email advice! :-)

Why not use ODBC.NET ? It allows you to access ODBC data sources via
ADO.NET - it's a separate download from MSDN somewhere.
Keeps clear of the API's!
