C#

var extension = fileExplorerAssistant1.Attach(treeList1, x=> {
    x.RootNodes.Add(new GuidNode(new Guid("B4BFCC3A-DB2C-424C-B029-7FE99A87C641")));
    // Other settings
});

VB.NET

Dim extension = fileExplorerAssistant1.Attach(treeList1, Sub(x)
    x.RootNodes.Add(New GuidNode(New Guid("B4BFCC3A-DB2C-424C-B029-7FE99A87C641")))
    ' Other settings
End Sub)
