Windows shell extension with C#

by

A Raymond’s post: Do not write in-process shell extensions in managed code.

A recent follow-up: Now that version 4 of the .NET Framework supports in-process side-by-side runtimes, is it now okay to write shell extensions in managed code?

The bottom line is, no, it is not okay:

The Guidance for implementing in-process extensions has been revised, and it continues the recommendation against writing shell extensions and Internet Explorer extensions (and other types of in-process extensions) in managed code, even if you’re using version 4 or higher.
