Windows 7 progress bar in taskbar in C#?

Question

If you've noticed in the Windows 7 beta, if you copy files or other system actions, the windows explorer icon in the taskbar will fill up with a green progress bar equivalent to the progress bar on the form. Is there a way that, in my C# forms, I can force my taskbar progress bar to match the progress of whatever task I'm doing? Converting, transferring, generating, there are so many uses for that progress bar.
