RE: Managed Shell extensions - OK with .NET v4.0

Revisiting the CLR Team blog after many months' absence, I see they have some interesting stuff there, including a new CodePlex site for the BCL Team; and a site for CLR Runtime Activation. Both of these are relevant to the current thread. http://blogs.msdn.com/clrteam/ There's also a long post

SQL CE table metadata

Folks, the SQL Server Compact documentation does not hint that it is possible to add metadata comments to a table during a CREATE. However, when you run: SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES; You can see a DESCRIPTION column. Is there are reliable way of putting something in that column

Managed Shell extensions - OK with .NET v4.0

I guess it's well known here that writing managed shell extensions was strongly discouraged because it has the effect of injecting your managed code (and the .NET Framework) into every application on the machine that has a file open dialog. That can be disastrous. (see for example, Junfeng Zhang

RE: Shell extension for .NET assembly inspection

OK, just in case someone is remotely interested: Heath Stewart (MS) wrote some shell extensions back in 2002 and published an article on CodeProject (thanks, Bing). But it was written for Win32, so I guess I'll have to recompile for 64-bit Windows 7. So I'm still looking for a 64-bit shell extens

RE: Shell extension for .NET assembly inspection

I'll take another look at sysinternals, thanks for that. Of course I can se reflector, and have written a trivial .net app to look at assemblies - but a shell extension is so much easier to use. Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia -Original Message--

RE: Shell extension for .NET assembly inspection

For information: one useful utility (supplied with most/all .NET Framework versions) is shfusion.dll (assembly cache viewer) - but that's not the shell extension that I am after. Info about shfusion.dll is here . It only works in \assembly f

Shell extension for .NET assembly inspection

Long ago, I installed a very useful little shell extension (ie, for Windows Explorer) that displayed simple info about .NET DLLs on the DLL's property sheet or as a displayed field in the Explorer browser i/f itself. Suffice to say I don't have it installed now, and can't even remember its name.

Crazy Friday.

Did a Friday just pass with not only no craziness, no arguments, but no posts at all? Maybe Thursday is the new Friday, and everyone stayed in bed today -- Les Hughes l...@datarev.com.au
