Hello
I'd like to write a cascading shell extension à la 7Zip in VB.Net that will work with any version of Windows from XP to 7 and .Net Framework 2 through 4.
I read that shell extensions should not be written with .Net Framework version older than 4, but that would require all users to upgrade and I'd like to avoid this if possible.
Since a shell extension requires writing a COM DLL (in C/C++) and this is way beyond my skills, I was wondering if someone knew of a good, free or commercial library that I could call from my VB.Net application?
Thank you.
