backwards-compatibility

I don't have an XP machine handy. If I use the Windows API Codepack to do something new to Vista/Win7 (e.g. "TaskDialog") in C#, how does it cope with running on Windows XP machines?

If I use the Codepack, have I effectively made my application only support Vista and later versions of Windows?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
