Are there any examples on writing a Windows Control Panel applet using
managed code?

Paul,

Are there any examples on writing a Windows Control Panel applet using
managed code?

Which lanaugage do you want to write it in? Applets must export a
static entry point called CPlApplet that's called by the Control
Panel, and exporting functions that way is only possible in C++ and IL
assembler.

C# would be my choice. Can you use interop for the entry point?

Hi Paul,

From your description, you wants to make an Control Panel Applet with C#.
If I have any misunderstanding, please correct me.

Based on my knowledge, we can not make Control Panel Applet within C#.
Since we can not export the function as we make the legacy dll in C++ do.

Here is a link you may take a look.

No you can't do this in pure C#. It would at least require some
post-build tweaking of the assembly with ILDASM and ILASM.
