api?

...oh...

The details depend on what you are tyrying to call. Basically you need to create either a .NET reference or an external reference to the api call in question. If you could provide some real details of what you are tring do to (starting with the API you are tring to reference) it would be helpful. You question at present is sort of like the person who asks "I am having problems replacing a part in my vechicle, what should I do?" without giving any further information. Are they looking to change a tire on a bicycle or a warp engine on a starship? As I indicated in my first post, an API is an Application Programming Interface. Translated to englist, this simply means a programatic method of invoking functionallity in another program. You could be talking about the API for QuickBooks [an accounting program], DirectX [graphics], EBay [we should all know that one], Windows [there are many versions!], or a virtually limitless number of other ones. Even within a given API there are dozens or even hundreds of different functions that can be called, each with their own pre-requisites.

"2) Call that function from another program" How? as i said, I'm a newb.

1) Write or obtain a piece of code that exposes a function that can be called externally 2) Call that function from another program
