I'm a novice programmer and I've run across a problem in creating a Console Application to automate a simple mathematical application.

The requirements of the Console is it must use low-level WinAPI call to automate, it cannot make use of Reflection or any other 3rd party libraries, including MS Visual Studio UI/Testing automation assemblies. All automation must be performed by wrapping the Executable application and automating it as a standalone application at runtime using the WinAPI functions defined in user32.dll.

What does all of that mean? Can I not build the console app in Visual Studio? Can someone explain low-level WinAPI?
