I was wondering if it was possible to plug my program into the eexplorer for windows. Basically, I want it to open with explorer, and make it so it isn’t it’s own process. Kind of like how tortoise svn runs in sync with the explorer. This is for c# btw
It sounds to me like you are referring to a shell extension. Doing one in C# isn’t the most straightforward process but it isn’t particularly difficult either. Here is a great CodeProject article on the subject.
Link and stuff
To my knowledge the code will not be all managed. You will have to access a com assembly but doing so in .NET was graciously made simple by the folks at Microsoft.
