System.Windows.Shell Reference missing

SimplyZ picture SimplyZ · Mar 16, 2011 · Viewed 8.6k times · Source

I have a windows form application and i want to make my own custom jumplist. To do this i need to use the namespace System.Windows.Shell but i can't access it, and i can't find a reference for it in the list of references either. I have checked some tutorials but they all use XAML (WPF Application) and some of them just mentions this can be done by coding as well.

So my question is, is it possible to access the namespace needed in a windows form app or do i need to use WPF? And if it is possible then how? And if not, then is there another way to do it in a windows form app?

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (C#).

Thanks in advance!

The System.Windows.Shell namespace is in the PresentationFramework.dll assembly. You can find that out on your own if you search for the namespace, the containing assembly will be displayed in the details.
