VistaBridge

Mon, June 12, 2006, 06:35 AM under Windows | Vista
You are a managed developer, with Vista Beta 2 and you also have the SDK (which you know from my Vista Links).

Now run (don't walk) to your Vista machine and do the following now:
Unszip [your drive letter]:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v1.0\samples\CrossTechnologySamples.zip and browse to the VistaBridge folder and open the solution. If you have two projects in the solution then great, one of them is the Windows Presentation Foundation demo app. If one of the projects failed to load for you then you don't have the WPF Beta 2 bits installed. Not to worry though as the project that did load is the managed class library that you are interested in and it seems ok without the WPF bits. It wraps a few cool native APIs!

I found this by accident while searching my hard drive for one of my TaskDialog files but more on that next...
