namespace extension.. galaxy file system toolkit...gmail shell drive like utility - c#

i was looking for some namespace extention to extend using c# (.net) but didn't find much help online except Galaxy Filesystem tooklkit. which are vc++ based but comes with c# and java wrapper classes... which helps me alot to start and i did.
i have extended that enough now and made installer to install. it get installed successfully but don't know why, when i open it, system get stuck... :( i thought my modified version might have some problem so i tried to run Galaxy filesystem toolkit's author original version and it responded in same way as mine do :D :(
now feeling bit helpless as even author is not responding my queries regarding my queries for some reason...
any help would be really appreciated....
FYI: i need to have Gmail drive like stuff...

Do not implement shell extensions with C# or anything that uses a framework.
If you do, you will break a lot of applications!
See here for why you must not do that.

Stetic GUI Designer Move to Glade for Gtk#3

I'm currently working at an audiobackend binding for my application. Since I want to use gstreamer, I found out, that I need to use GTK#3, because this is needed by gstreamer-sharp. Since I'm currently working with monodevelop, which uses stetic for GUI design, I wanted to ask, what is the best way, moving towards GTK#3. I see, that it uses .ui files for GUI definition, which can be generated by glade (I also tried a little bit around with glade). But my application has 4 windows with much code, so how can I easily transport this to GTK#3? Has anybody done this already?
Greeting

GtkBuilder works for both GTK2 and GTK3, Smuxi will eventually go that route and backport the GtkBuilder converted .ui files from Stetic back to GTK2.
The tool to convert the existing stetic UIs can be found here:
https://github.com/xDarkice/stetic2ui
Smuxi was a GTK2 app made with stetic too. When we did a Gnome .NET hackfest recently in Austria they found the problems you are talking about, but eventually solved them by using glade files and some clever approach to still be compatible with GTK2 and GTK3 at the same time, so you might want to look at their commits from September to November of 2013.

C# view source code of a particular .NET class

I browsed through some questions and this one stood out as the better one:
.Net Classes and their source code which pointed me to this place here: Microsoft Reference Source Server.
I tried everything the site says, downloaded a file that I cannot open from there and at some point ended up with a .pdb file in my source folder for the symbol cache that I could not open with a multitude of tools I looked into.
So this is my last resort to find an answer to my question. Out of pure curiosity (and lack of a better way to understand some stuff) I want to open a particular class from Microsoft (namely I wanna look into RichTextBox and maybe the classes it inherits from) but I simply cannot find a way to make this work for me. I want the original source, not a decompiler product because, well because I mainly need to understand some stuff, not see random variable names. I appreciate any help that may get me around my stupidity and clumsiness, as well as the right tools to do so (if any other than VS).
Note that I am using Visual Studio 2012 and yes, I went over a guide covering this specific version instead of the guide on VS 2008.
The "download" links on this page: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx should work. However try downloading them via Internet Explorer; my Firefox attempted to download an .aspx file instead of the installer itself for some reason. (EDIT: as #ParagMeshram pointed out, just rename the netframework.aspx to netframework.msi as a quick fix if necessary)
In addition, here's a link to the source hosted by dotnetframework.org: http://www.dotnetframework.org/default.aspx/4#0/4#0/untmp/DEVDIV_TFS/Dev10/Releases/RTMRel/wpf/src/Framework/System/Windows/Controls/RichTextBox#cs/1305600/RichTextBox#cs
I can't say for certain if it's the latest greatest, or what you would be compiling against exactly, but should give you a good idea of how it works.

SlimDX for c# XAudio2 Effects (Reverb)

How can I add a reverb effect to a voice? I can't find any XAudio2Reverb class or anything.
I did, however, come across this page.
It looks like the code for the reverb effects was written but on the downloaded SDK and redistributable this class (not even the XAudio2.FX namespace) doesn't exist, so there is a link or something where I can this version of SlimDX2 or do I have to download the source and compile it?
I'm now using SharpDX. It's far more complete and well documented.

Edit M4V Video Metadata

So far my google-fu has failed me, so I'm hoping someone here can help:
How can I programmatically modify video metadata (specifically in my case, m4v video files)?
I'm most familiar with Ruby and C#, but I can be fairly language agnostic on this -- that is, if there's a specific language that is good at modifying file metadata, I have no problems spending the required time to learn it well enough to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
This question is pretty similar to:
View/edit ID3 data for MP3 files
I have searched for the library so you dont have to:
http://download.banshee.fm/taglib-sharp/
Even tho it has linux on its name it is for mono, so it should compile fine in Visual Studio :)
Hope it helps.
Consider asking http://www.ffmpeg.org/contact.html in #ffmpeg
I don't think they use ID3 tags.

Visual Studio 2008 C# - Recover solution from application manifest possible?

Hello I recently deleted what I thought was an unused folder which happened to have the solution and code for a windows application I am maintaining.
I have published the app multiple times with ClickOnce and have access to the application manifest, deploy, etc. Is there a way for me to use the published application to get back my solution?
Thanks
If you don't currently use source control, I would highly recommend using one. I'm not aware of a way to get back all the solution files without source control, but you can get back the code using .NET Reflector. There is a file disassembler add-in which allows you to dump the code straight out of Reflector.
not possible. you can't recover the solution and original code from the compiled and deployed version.
if you have not used that machine or hard drive since you deleted it, you may be able to recover the files but it's a long shot and may be expensive.
you need to invest some time in learning source control. git, mercurial, subversion... they're all free and easy to use in windows. having your code in source control would prevent this problem - delete it all you want, just do a checkout from source control again.
Just go get the project back from Subversion.
Basically all you can do at this point is feed the assemblies to a program like reflector and reverse engineer it back. Welcome to sucksville.
If you don't have your stuff in some type of repository already I'd highly recommend fixing that first thing in the morning. With free tools like subversion available, nevermind things like TFS or even VSS there just isnt a good excuse.
