SUMMARYThe January 1996 issue of Microsoft Developer Network contains the article titled "VBRASAPI: Calls Windows RAS Functions From Visual Basic." This article contains a sample application that is a wrapper dynamic link library (DLL) file used to call the Remote Access Service (RAS) functions in Microsoft Windows for Workgroups from Microsoft Visual Basic. The file Rasapi.bas is missing from the sample included with the article.
MORE INFORMATIONThe VBRASAPI sample is a wrapper DLL used to call the RAS functions in Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. Developed by Microsoft Consulting Services, VBRASAPI works as a wrapper around Rasapi16.dll for programs written in Microsoft Visual Basic. The functions in Vbrasapi.dll can dial using a RAS phone book entry, get the RAS connection status, and hang up. These functions can then maintain and pass the RAS connection handle to each other so they maintain the connection sessions one at a time. The Rasapi.bas file is a compilation of Microsoft Visual Basic equivalent declarations for constants and data structures found in the Ras.h and Raserror.h C-header files. It also includes API Declare statements for the Vbrasapi.dll functions. This Microsoft Visual Basic module is self-documented and can be added to any project that needs to use RAS. However, this file is not included in the compressed version attached to the article shipped in the January 1996 issue of the Microsoft Developer Network. The April 1996 issue contains the complete version of the article.
