In case you are writing a program that need to interact with the Desktop
Window Manager, manage Glass or blur on your forms/windows, you might want
to check the series of posts I am writing on this matter at http://stoyanoff.info/code/glasslib/.
The library (GlassLib) is open source and can be compiled for Windows Forms,
Windows Presentation Foundation, or with no dependencies whatsoever (it
operates with window handles in this case).

Great stuff, but it seems like precisely the right case to use
extension methods to transparently introduce those new members on Form
class. E.g. instead of:
Dwm.Glass[form] = new DwmMargins(100, 4, 8, 20);
something like:
form.GetDwm().Glass = new DwmMargins(100, 4, 8, 20);
Thanks for the suggestion, Pavel. I will take it into consideration and work
on a version with extensions but still leave properties for use in legacy
(well, older) versions of Visual Studio and .NET Framework.

do you need to support "legacy" environments? we're by definition only
talking about vista and above, right?

Vista was released in 2006, and predates .NET 3.5 and C# 3.0. So, yes,
it makes sense to support .NET/C# 2.0 as well. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
