Hi!

I read in the book from Microsoft Press(Exam 70-536) and it says the
following.
"As mentioned previously, the .NET Framework provides an abudance of
functionality, but there are areas that have not yet been wrapped for .NET.
This is the case with lagacy code obviously, but it is also the case with
Windows API functionality."

So what does the book mean with legacy code ?

Legacy code is a general IT term meaning "old code"
(which often means "working code" !).

It is not clear from the context what they specifically means. It
could be user Win32 DLL's not yet ported to .NET or it could
mean Microsoft COM components or something else.
