Hooks with C#

[Oleg Mustiazza]

Hi,

I was looking at a sample for hooks -
http://www.codeproject.com/system/hooksys.asp, in particular at the part
where one .exe injects the code from a .dll into an external process. It
swaps the mouse buttons when clicking on windows "Start" button.

I'm trying to do install the hook from a C# program but it doesn't work. The
target program keeps dying and then I have to reboot windows because the
crash is pretty bad.

Has anyone done this before? Any pointers?

You can't implement global hooks in managed code (with the exception
of lowlevel keyboard and mouse hooks).

That is an article about using hooks with C++, not with C#. Here are a
couple of others:
