Developing for Windows Vista with Visual Studio 2005
There's more to Windows Vista than Glass and Sidebar. Learn what Vista has to offer you as the developer, what you can take advantage of to enhance your customers user experience and how you leverage many of these new features using the tools you have today.
Note that this presentation purposefully avoids delving deep into WPF, WCF and WF. Partially for time constraints and partially because those subjects are being discussed in more detail by many other presenters. This presentation is more about the features in Windows Vista, how you can leverage them and how you can interact with them using interoperability; as many of the new features in Vista are not .NET native (such as Aero/DWM, Windows Experience Index information, etc.). Some examples show how to “skin” the .NET 2.0 TreeView control to look and feel like the Vista Explorer / Windows Mail applications and modify the behavior of a WinForms menu to show and hide similar to Windows Vista counterparts.
Demonstrations include leveraging Aero and the Desktop Window Manager (“Glass”) utilizing P/Invoke, using COM Interop to access Windows Experience Index information, changing the look and behavior of the TreeView control, and the ability to modify the behavior of the menu bar.
