CreateFile (coredll)
coredll is for smart devices, not desktop Windows. Therefore, this information only applies to code using the .NET Compact Framework. To see if information for CreateFile in other DLLs exists, click on Find References to the right.
Declare Function CreateFile Lib "coredll.dll" (lpFileName as String, dwDesiredAccess As Int32, dwShareMode As Int32, lpSecurityAttributes As IntPtr, dwCreationDisposition As Int32, dwFlagsAndAttributes As Int32, hTemplateFile as IntPtr) As IntPtr
User-Defined Types:
None.
Notes:
lpSecurityAttributes can be left as an IntPtr - CE doesn't use it. Set this to be 0.
The VB .NET declaration uses Int32 rather than UInt32 as the latter is not CLS-Compliant. You may need to check the usage.
You will need this API if you are doing serial comms.

Alternative Managed API:
TODO
An IntPtr is a pointer to a memory location (unmanaged) that adapts to the platform it is running on (64-bit, etc.) UNLIKE a standard int/Integer. You should always use this type for unmanaged calls that require it, even though an int will appear to work on your development machine.
