Jeff is leading the development efforts for the Vista Bridge samples.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What are the Vista Bridge samples?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;The Vista Bridge samples are a set of samples that ship with the Windows SDK. These samples illustrate techniques for&amp;nbsp;interoping with Windows Vista native APIs,&amp;nbsp;and for designing managed wrappers that expose a more .NET style of API.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why should you care about the Vista Bridge samples?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; If you're developing applications for Windows Vista with managed code, these samples can save you a lot of time. Currently available versions of the samples include managed wrappers for the new&amp;nbsp;Open/Save File dialogs and for Task Dialogs.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;And Jeff and &lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/yvesdolc/default.aspx"&gt;Yves Dolce&lt;/a&gt; are currently working on wrapping additional APIs. Keep an&amp;nbsp;eye on Jeff's and Yves's blogs to get the inside scoop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=878231" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/cheller/archive/tags/Vista+Bridge+Samples/default.aspx">Vista Bridge Samples</category></item></channel></rss>
