Windows explorer right click menu

I was wondering if someone would be able to provide some assistance. I am trying to develop an application where the user selects a number of files by right clicking them in windows explorer and after clicking on the application name. The selected files are passed into the application.

I found the following:

But was wondering if anyone has any vb.net example.

Thanks

Just use a code conversion tool. Here is one that I use frequently.

There won't be a pure VB.NET example, you will need to use Win32 APIs, which means DLLImports(or ComImports if you go that way) to do the same thing you would do in unmanaged code.
There is mostly just syntax differences between the .NET languages.


ALSO:
Please don't double post your questions. I have merged the identical threads.
