"Recent documents" API in .NET?

Question

For my document-based application I want to have a list of "Recent Documents", as many others do. I'm happy to implement this myself manually by writing to a settings file or whatever, but was wondering if there's a component in the .NET framework that will do this for me.

Seems like a common function that many developers would need, and I don't want to write code that .NET provides. I'm using .NET 3.5 with WPF for the UI.

As far as I know, the .NET framework doesn't contain such a feature.

However, rather than implementing it yourself from scratch, you might want to use the dedicated Windows API :

• AddMRUStringW
• CreateMRUListW
• EnumMRUListW
• FreeMRUList
