Shell extensions with .NET 4.0

Question

Any one have any docs or examples of how to add menu items to the explorer shell with .NET.

Can only find info saying it should be possible now with .NET 4.0 but not

Answer 1

The latest release (currently All-In-One Code Framework 2011-8-8 Aug 8 2011) of the All-In-One framework does not include these samples any more. Think MS removed formal support for managed shell-in's.

However I can confirm they are still available from All-In-One Code Framework 2010-09-06 http://1code.codeplex.com/releases/view/51868

Updated:

Documentation has a bug in it. To install the created shell extensions on a x64 machine use the 'Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt (2010)' to run the regasm commands. This command prompt get's installed as part of the c++ stuff in Visual Studio setup but is essentially the following command:

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" amd64
