Usage notes

TaskDialog

If you get the following exception when you instantiate a TaskDialog:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.dll
Additional information: TaskDialog feature needs to load version 6 of comctl32.dll but a different version is current loaded in memory.

To fix it, create an application manifest and uncomment the following block section:

 <!-- Enable themes for Windows common controls and dialogs (Windows XP and later) -->
<!-- <dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="*"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>-->

DirectX

The DirectX package will work under x86 and x64 configuration platforms but not for AnyCPU platform (because there is no such platform for C++/CLI projects). Consequently, the package will purposefully fail the build and tell you why it did.
