Constructors

public WindowsShellLinkClient()No documentation.
Methods
CreateAsync
public Task CreateAsync(string path, ShellLinkSpecification specification, bool replaceExisting = false, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)Creates a link; replacement requires explicit opt-in. A failed staged save retains the destination.
FindAsync
public Task<ShellLinkSnapshot?> FindAsync(string path, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)Reads without resolving or displaying UI. Returns null only if the link or its directory is absent.
ResolveAsync
public Task<ShellLinkSnapshot> ResolveAsync(string path, TimeSpan timeout, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)Explicitly resolves a target without UI or writing the source link. The timeout is passed to the shell.
Remarks
The shell timeout limits its no-UI resolution work; it cannot guarantee a hard deadline for every network provider.
UpdateAsync
public Task UpdateAsync(string path, ShellLinkUpdate update, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)Updates only supplied fields, retaining other shell-link metadata. Missing links are errors.
