Window 7 Managed API

Hello folks, Window 7 RC had been released. Window 7 RC received positive feedbacks from most of the users.

Most Windows 7 APIs are written in native code C, C++, and COM APIs, and have no .Net equivalents.

This makes the life of managed code developers a bit hard, forcing them to create their own interoperability layers for communicating between .NET and the native Windows APIs. Some native APIs are easy to wrap and use from managed code, requiring simple interoperability efforts like adding a reference to a COM type library. However, some are extremely problematic and require a lot of knowledge about the “Win32” programming style. That is exactly why the Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft .NET Framework was created.
