    [2008] Deskbands!

    How can I make a deskband for my application in VB.NET 2008? I am extremely experienced in VB, and I've found something in Shell32, that I believe should be used. But how?

    I've seen plenty of examples in C++, and I've searched for anything like this for about 2 weeks now. No result. Can anyone help me?

    All of that is C++ examples. Either translate or find VB examples please?
    Thanks for showing your interest in my issue though.

    I tried converters before, and they didn't do the job well.
