Hello,

is there an alternative way to query the WDS (windows desktop search) without using OleDbConnection. If yes, is this way more comfortable...

Having to know the colums (SELECT * is not working) and other weird problems let me wish for a "nicer" way, perhaps I am missing something. If not I will have to lern OleDb a little bit more...

Chris

[EDIT]

For all interested in the topic, here is a list of columns which can be queried. Shell Properties on MSDN The not so nice thing, there are A LOT and I am supposed to query with comma separated string, check for nulls, and CAST in the correct format. All by hand. Seems like not very "managed", isn't there any wrapper for it...
