Where to find Windows 7 sample code?

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

Some developers have contacted me and asked from where they could find examples on how to use the new Windows 7 features from code. Although MSDN contains tidbits of code (I'm sure more will follow in the future), some developers enjoy full example applications better.

With that in mind, and especially so if you are using C# or .NET, I suggest downloading the Windows API Code Pack for .NET, which contains first and foremost easy interfaces to Windows 7 (and Windows Server 2008 R2) features to managed code developers, but also a nice set of different sample applications.

So, if you are looking for sample code in C#, go and download the Code Pack today. Good luck!
