Vista - Common Dialogs

Many programs (even Notepad) in Vista, uses a file dialog (e.g. Open, Save
as etc.) which looks very much like the Explorer.'
These dialogs are much better than the old win32 dialogs I beleive, but how
to use these in my own program (.net) ?

sorry i dont have the code in front of me but take a look at

http://www.vertigo.com/familyshow.aspx

get the source - it has code in it to invoke the win32 file dialog with the
new look from a wpf app.

Thanks a lot
Anyway, I think rudimentary components like these wrappers should be part of
the platform (?)

What about
Microsoft.WIn32.FileDialog

and other dialog in this namespace?
