Before Windows 8, the method of adding a mailto: protocol handler was straightforward (as outlined here Register Windows program with the mailto protocol programmatically ) As of Windows 8, the old method no longer works. It would seem that Win8 enforces the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\URLAssociations\‌​MAILTO\UserChoice . It also appears the ProgID of the selected app is hashed and can't be forged, at least not that I can tell. Does anyone have a working method for this, or can point me at a utility class/code that'll outline how to

I have a Windows Forms application that I recently re-wrote in WPF , and I need to release it to my end users. I'd like to be able to have the users go to the ClickOnce install point for the WPF application and have their Windows Forms application removed, so they don't have both on their machine. What's the best way (read: easiest for users) of accomplishing this? I have thought about creating an prerequisite command line to detect the old version and uninstall, but I would like to avoid having to write something like that where it only gets run once. RobinDotNet I think you actually SHOULD

Is that possible? I know that services like Google Ads prohibit advertising in desktop applications. Is there a service that supports the WPF/.NET? First,adsense being not allowed to be used in desktop apps , You can look for other advertising networks. There are other ad networks like amazon associates , .. etc . You can search for them according to the domains ex: banking, retails . You can look for/contact them for their terms and conditions on desktop usage. And not all of them would provide you an API for .Net. If amazon is allowed for desktop usage: Look into this API Secondly , w.r.t

I am still new to the electron ecosystem and desktop development in general but what I wish to do is to interface with a third party, open source application that comes bundled in with my software. First, I am unsure on what the package options to distribute should be. Is it customary to have two downloads, one for users that already have the third party binary installed, and another one that includes it? Also how do I go about actually packaging, and installing the binary? Should this be an option on my package.json? What kind of script should I execute? Are there any npm modules to

I have data bound DataGridView in a desktop app with columns that have their ToolTipText property set, yet no tool tip is displayed when I hover over grid view (cells or cell headers). The ShowCellToolTips property of the grid view is true , and I have verified using break points that it is not changed programmatically before I mouse over. I have tried creating a CellToolTipTextNeeded event handler to see what the tool tip text was, but the event handler is never called. Is there anything I have missed? Thanks, Rob Edit: We're using framework 2.0. It appears from your question that you set the

I have developed a C# desktop application which makes HTTPS requests to the customers' servers ( usually Documentum/SharePoint/Alfresco/NemakiWare/etc HTTPS-based servers ). Several customers have asked us to support their servers which are protected by CA SSO ( new name of Siteminder ). QUESTION: What do I need to do to allow my application to send HTTPS requests (and receive responses) with CA SSO-protected servers? I have developed NTLM-SSO support for our C# desktop application and it works well, but I am not sure about how to proceed for CA SSO. I have asked the same question on the CA
