Q:

Does .NET 3.5 allow to use the new features of Windows 7?

Some of the applications running on Windows 7 (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, in example) use the icon they present in the task bar to show a little progress bar. Is it possible to use that feature using the .NET Framework 3.5?

A:

Try the Windows API Code Pack

This assembly provides access to Windows specific features like the tool bar.  It allows for just the scenario you're looking for.
