Resource Page DescriptionSample code for creating Preview Handlers on Windows XP systems using a COM server built in the .NET Framework. Preview Handlers are a built in part of Vista, however the out-of-process server that is included in Vista is not a part of Windows XP and thus a preview host is necessary.
This library is a sample of implementing the necessary COM server implementation as well as preview handler interfaces to create a handler that will work in Outlook 2007 and Windows XP.
Credit goes to
Stephen Toub,
Ryan Gregg, and Lim Bio Long for providing inspiration, sample code and documentation to this sample.
This sample is based off of articles on CodeProject demonstrating implementing COM servers in .NET as well as code from Ryan Gregg for implementing the required interfaces for IPreviewHandler to make this work.

Tim Heuer describing the core piece of this and a link to an implementation using this library.
