    I'm compiling this project from source but I found that the source has a precompiled DLL in it called TaskBarList.dll. I'd rather not use dlls that I don't compile myself, unless I'm very familiar with the author. Where can find this DLL's source? If it's proprietary, who wrote it?

    What methods does the TaskBarList.dll have that say MS's ITaskbarList Com interface doesn't have? Could I just subsitute the dll for ITaskbarList?

    For anyone else who cares:

    go to "\dualmonitortb-code-10\DualMonitorSolution\ComFiles"
    delete taskbar.tlb and TaskbarList.dll

    Open Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt (2010) (or Win32 if that's what your using) and enter the following commands:

    midl /tlb taskbar.tlb taskbar.idl
    tlbimp taskbar.tlb /out:TaskbarList.dll
