MSDN Magazine Managed Preview Handlers 1.0.0

MSDN Magazine Managed Preview Handlers is a tool created by Microsoft that allows developers to enhance the Windows Explorer preview pane with custom rendering of file types that cannot be natively displayed by the operating system.

Through MSDN Magazine Managed Preview Handlers, developers can create handlers for file extensions such as PDF, ZIP or Office documents, as well as more specific file types like camera RAW images or 3D models. These handlers can be written in C# or VB .NET, and will be automatically registered with Windows Explorer upon installation.

The preview handlers can display the contents of the file in the preview pane, such as images, text or metadata, and allow users to interact with it through a customizable user interface. This can improve productivity by allowing faster previews of files without the need to launch their associated applications.

MSDN Magazine Managed Preview Handlers is a free and open source tool that is available for download on Microsoft's website. It is designed to work on Windows Vista or later operating systems with .NET Framework 2.0 or later installed.
