[OC] I made a program for Windows which lets you create sticky preview thumbnails
This was mostly a project for fun, to dive into CsWin32 - a PInvoke source generator as well to fiddle around with the DWM API.

Change Secondary screen rotation using CMD
If you haven't seen the CsWin32 project, you can use it to generate all your bindings as well. It generates the raw extern bindings, and then friendly wrappers for C# (where possible) that also work really well with PowerShell.
-
Audio routing using C#
My best guess would be to use CsWin32 to wrangle the audio sinks used by variious WASAPI sessions.

Hello. Can someone please give me some fun and cool projects for powrshell? Thank you.
If you're looking for something different, try out writing windows programs using Win32 via CsWin32. You can generate a DLL that you Add-Type into PowerShell that lets you access all of Win32.

PInvoke.net: the interop wiki
Also worth mentioning is this C# source generator for generating P/Invoke methods for win32 APIs: https://github.com/microsoft/CsWin32

WPF Roadmap 2023
Idk what all the hubub is about FolderBrowserDialog, it's pretty easy to make the Win32 calls (you can even code generate the interop calls).
-
C# to C Struct
You could try this to auto-generate it.
- Any existing windows API wrappers?
-
Need help with WPF
If all you need is Win32 stuff from a WPF application, you can use P/Invoke to call the unmanaged code from C# (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/native-interop/pinvoke). Microsoft also recently added features for making working with Win32 from C# easier (see: https://github.com/microsoft/CsWin32).

Recommendation for software to aid with creating a C# wrapper around a c++ library
Or take a look at the tools CppSharp or SWIG, s.a. Example for SWIG to wrap C++ library in .Net 6.
- Tools and libraries to glue C/C++ APIs to high-level languages
-
COM or C++/CLI layer for long-term maintenance?
I would give CppSharp a crack first. It generates a .net wrapper using pinvoke.
What are some alternatives?
