Title: Moving to Windows 7: Using Code Pack to Improve User Experience
Description:
Spend two hours with an expert learning what makes a good Windows 7 application. See how taskbar jumplists and taskbar previews and controls give your users an intuitive, productive, and fun user experience on Windows 7. Learn about restart and recovery, network awareness, power awareness, and more. Then see how simple it is to leverage a free library from Microsoft and add these features to your application with just a few lines of code. You can even create a single executable that runs fine on older versions of Windows and “lights up” on Windows 7.
This session will drill in to the features provided by Windows 7 and how to add them to your application using the Windows® API Code Pack for Microsoft® .NET Framework. Samples in both Visual Basic and C# will cover shell integration (taskbar, previews, and more), restart and recovery, power awareness and more. Learn how to add your own tasks to a jumplist taskbar, to recover from a reboot or a crash without losing any user data, and to modify your application’s behavior to conserve battery power. When you leave this session you’ll be ready to transform the user experience your application provides and take full advantage of Windows 7.

Date/Time: Thursday, Feb 4th, 2009 from 6:30-9:30pm (talk starts at 7)
