Vista Bridge (v1.3) available on MSDN Code Gallery

MSDN Code Gallery - Vista Bridge Sample Library 1.3

“The Vista Bridge Sample Library contains source code for assemblies that provide managed code developers access to Windows Vista features that are not available in the .NET Framework. Some of the features included in Vista Bridge Sample Library are - Vista style Task and File Dialogs, Common Open and Save dialogs, Application Recovery and Restart, Known Folders, Network Lists, Power Management, User Account Control, CommandLink control, Aero Wizard Control, System provided icons etc.

The Vista Bridge Sample Library also includes sample applications that demonstrate many of the features included in the library. It also contains a help file (vistabridgedocumentation.chm) that describes the library.

To build the library in Visual Studio, please extract the contents of the ‘VistaBridge1.3.1.zip’ file in a folder, open the included ‘vistabridge.sln’ file and build it.” [Description leached in full]

Besides the UI stuff I’ve previously blogged about that the Vista Bridge Library makes easier, one area I’m interested in is the “Application Recovery and Restart” topic/sample. I like the idea that the OS can help me help my users by better handling “catastrophic events”.
