Yes, it has everything to do with APIs. Application programming interfaces are provided by libraries that contain distinct functionality. The .NET BCL does not have these where something in VCL does. This functionality does exist in the ODBC APIs and all VCL is doing is wrapping it. Again, this hasn't been done in .NET (at least in an assembly that Microsoft produces). You would have to do it and you can do it in C#. See the DllImportAttribute for more information on P/Invoke. You're not rewriting anything - just importing a native function into managed code. This is oft-done in many larger applications because of APIs that don't exist in the BCL or other third-party libraries that do exist in various Windows APIs.
