Using the API Reference

The API reference applies to multiple languages. Because of differences between languages, the terms and syntax used in the reference may not match a given language. Some differences are:

API Ref	VB.NET	C#
__abstract	MustInherit	abstract
__sealed	NotInheritable	sealed
__gc
::	.	.
NULL	Nothing	Null

This guide uses VB.NET for most examples. The sample applications are available in VB.NET, C#, and C++;
