What I am trying to mimic in my wpf executable is the retrieval of the session id from asp .net, save that session in a cookie, retrieve it and send that session id back on my next call to the server.

writing a shortcut file directly is poor practice IMO, and could
lead to tears in the future.

IShellLink is the proper way to go

If that's too much, then the second best option would be to use the Windows Script Host.
Here's one example:

The Path "ActiveX.Text" should be "Text"


Change to: <Binding Mode="TwoWay" Source="{StaticResource xManager}" Path=".Text" />

BTW: Any reason you're not setting the DataContext on the TextBoxes Parent container to an instance of the xManager class? Then you don't need a resource. Your application may need to follow the pattern you've described, just want me sure you knew there are other ways.

<Window>
  <Window.Resources>
    &lt;local:XManager x:Key="xManager"/&gt;
  </Window.Resources>
  <Grid DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource xManager}}">
    ...
    <TextBox Text="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, Path=ActiveSession.InputText}" />
  </Grid>
</Window>

XManager xMgr;
public MainWindow()
{
  InitializeComponent();
  xMgr = (XManager)FindResource("xManager");
