title: How can I tell if the libaries, dlls, and functions I use are C++ Native
body: <p>I am learning C++ with the intention to make programs with zero dependencies.</p>
  
  <p>I am noticing that throughout my code I later find out that a libary/dll/functions I have been using requires the machine running it to have .NET installed or some other package.</p>
  
  <p>How can I detect this beforehand?</p>
  
  <p>Are most things that are possible with these .NET libaries/dlls/functions possible with only Native C++ libaries/dlls/functions?</p>
  
  <p>I assumed so.</p>
