Summary

In this chapter we've explained the concept of a namespace, and then gone on a quick tour of some of the functionality available via the .NET SDK base classes. Hopefully these examples will have shown you that the base classes make it very easy to carry out a lot of Windows tasks. Some of these tasks were previously only available via the Win32 SDK, which was not only conceptually harder to program with, but also made it difficult to carry out those tasks from any language other than C++. With the new base classes these tasks can be accomplished with ease from any .NET-aware or COM-aware language.
