Hi, I'm not that good with VB.NET yet and I'd like to learn about API's and external DLL files.

Perhaps someone can post some sample code with explanation/comments or point me to some tutorials.

Thank you. Plus one for now. I would like to keep this question open for a while so I can get more links.

+1  A: 

What kind of DLLs? For native DLLs, you have to P/Invoke (assuming the entry is public and non-decorated). For managed, just add a reference and use it.

I'm not sure I understand your answer. Actually, I *dont* understand it. What does *non-decorated* mean? Also, what is *Managed*?
Moshe
If you don't know what "managed" and "decorated" are, then a trip to your favorite search engine is a good start. You *ill* need to know these.
