Usage notes

TaskDialog

If you get the following exception when you instantiate a TaskDialog:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.dll

Additional information: TaskDialog feature needs to load version 6 of comctl32.dll but a different version is current loaded in memory.

To fix it, create an application manifest and un-comment the following block section:

Note: you might have to restart Visual Studio as the DLLs seems to be cached in memory and rebuilding your project doesn't seem to be enough in some cases.

DirectX

The DirectX package will work under x86 and x64 configuration platforms but not for AnyCPU platform (because there is no such platform for C++/CLI projects). Consequently, the package will purposefully fail the build and tell you why it did.

Note: package is here for historical reasons, it is highly recommended to use SharpDX instead.
