How do I: Use Windows 7 Taskbar Progress Reporting from WPF 4

The Windows 7 taskbar has a ton of interesting features you can use to provide information to your users. One of these is Taskbar Progress Reporting. In previous versions of WPF, this functionality was surfaced only through the Windows API Code Pack. However, with WPF 4, the System.Windows.Shell namespace and the TaskbarItemInfo class provides you with another way to integrate your WPF applications into the shell.

Thanks.

Any ideas as to show progress info such as Download progress.

This has had me pulling my hair out for the past few weeks.

I have developed a browser in C# WPF  for use on a specific forum, i have completed, tabbed thumbnails/jumplists etc, i can show progress while the browser is navigating using the background worker but i cannot get it to show progress when a file or program is downloaded.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

My apologies for not seeing this earlier. Is the issue that you can't get download progress during the download, or that you can get the progress, but can't display it?

Very nice!!! Thanks.

Is there any Windows 7 guidelines document available where I could learn not only about the TaskbarItemInfo guidelines but just about any other components for Windows applications? That would be very useful.

Thanks again.
