How can I embed a word document in a form or usercontrol like the explorer preview panel does?
I found this topic and they say DSOFramer isn't available any more, but what should I use now? A third party tool is only acceptable if its free.
The only thing I noticed was that prevhost.exe starts a winword.exe process with the -Embedding command switch, but I can't find any information on this switch.
Okay I found the solution, it was kinda obvious. I created a UserControl which accesses the IPreviewHandler from word like the windows explorer does and host the preview in my control. The CLSID I use is {84F66100-FF7C-4fb4-B0C0-02CD7FB668FE}
You can use the Windows 7 API Code Pack for the interface declarations. I don't know if its offical supported by microsoft but for me it did the job.

I am using Microsoft expression blend 4 and i want to add a simple button,in a wpf application, which by clicking it(on "Run Project" mode) navigates the user to another existing wpf application in expression blend 4.This can be done by using a method but maybe I used the wrong method or i used the right method the wrong way.To be more specific i dragged on the button(that i want to make the task i mentioned) the "Launch UriOrFile Action" method but i realised(by making experiments with various files on desktop and using internet url's) that i can only link the running wpf application with random files or internet sites and not to another wpf application as i wanted(when i put the path of the wpf application it pops up a window saying"windows explorer has stopped working",something that didnt occured when i put random file's paths or internet sites url's).If anyone understands my problem let me know!thanks!!
Check out Process.Start. Create a command that fires code that calls that method.
Some of application Installation wizard's are in full screen. like below one. This look say "I am a big Program".
But winform setup installation is like a form only. how can i get like the above installation wizard.
Is possible in Visual Studio 2010.
Advanced Installer supports something like this: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/ui-slideshow.html
I don't know if there are other tools which support it, but you can check them out:

Another solution is to write your own custom action which shows the background images.
We may not have the option to migrate over to Silverlight 4 right away, so I was wondering if anyone found a way to remove the source domain name from the window's title for out-of-browser Silverlight 3 applications. Our window title currently looks like this: "My App - localhost."
Under Mac, I found the Info.plist file in the application bundle and found where you can set the Bundle name property as well as TrimmedSourceDomain. Unfortunately, when I clear the TrimmedSourceDomain property, the title looks like "My App -," and if I delete the property entirely, the application doesn't launch. I assume similar problems would occur under Windows. Have any of you found a workaround?
Sliverlight 4 specifically mentions "chrome" as one of its new features. I've heard recently from an MS Developer Evangelist that the new chrome feature includes not having any at all. My hunch, therefore, is that SL3 OOB applications cannot have their chrome removed.
I think the answer is simply "no." It looks like it still can't be done under Silverlight 4, either. You can, under SL 4 do custom Chrome, but that's the closest thing to do that I can find.
I'm working on an application that will have attachments, and I would like to create a type of display like in windows Explorer, where you choose a "Details" view, and also show the preview pane.
I would like to be able to show a thumbnail view of the attached file currently selected, based on the file extension.
Does anyone know where I can start to look for examples on how to pull this off?
I know Outlook 2007 can also do something similar using preview handlers. I think that’s going to be the direction I want to go in, but I'm not sure where to start.
Many thanks.
All Hail the Glory of the Hypnotoad!
While you could do it in WPF, you should not do it.
Seriously: don't do it! - you would break many apps (including one of mine).
To do this without .NET, see here for a nice guide.
I think you can start here

(the code is partially black on black, at least for me, but you can disable the styles or just copy it)
The new Silverlight 3 beta includes the ability to run Out-of-Browser applications. The demos so far show this only inside a special frame. Does anyone know how I can run Siverlight 3 controls inside a (WPF) application?
No, you can not embed out-of-browser silverlight into WPF. The sllauncher.exe standalone frame has a special handler for the offline://(hostname).(revision)/ url given to it to allow the app to have all the features of out-of-browser mode (like extra keyboard access). Unless you can find a way to embed this app into your app, you won't be able to get out-of-browser; if you know some way to do this the address for this app is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\3.0.40307.0\sllauncher.exe
As others have said, however, you can embed a silverlight control inside of an html page and that inside a WebBrowser element. Be cautious with this method, however, since there is currently no x64 support for Silverlight and if you absolutely must do this make sure to compile specifically for x86.
I'm guessing (yes, shame on me!) but you can probably put a WPF web browser on your window and navigate to the Silverlight app inside it.
This is a supported scenario; a recent MSDN article stated this scenario was supported, and scenarios like this forced the CLR team to allow multiple CLRs loaded into a single process.
It seems that SLOOB apps run inside a host process (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\3.0.40307.0\sllauncher.exe). This hosts and sandboxes the app.
I suspect that it will not be possible to host it yourself - sorry if that's a little close to guessing, but short of running a hosting web browser in your WPF app I can't think of a way around the sandboxing requirement.
HTH
You can host a browser control inside a windows app, and load silverlight inside the browser control. This is how live mesh is going to do it.
