private sealed class HierarchyDemoInfoTaskList : TaskList
{
    private DemoHierarchyInfo _owner;
    private bool _dirtyState = false;
    Person _curPerson = new Person(23, "Albert", "Smith");

    public HierarchyDemoInfoTaskList(DemoHierarchyInfo owner) {
        _owner = owner;
    }

    public void Delete()
    {
        _owner.Delete();
    }

/// GetTaskItems() is called every time the context menu is invoked.
public override System.Collections.ICollection GetTaskItems() {

    ArrayList items = new ArrayList();

    Image imgAsk = rLoadImg.loadImgs(SystemIcons.Asterisk, 16);
    Image imgErr = rLoadImg.loadImgs(SystemIcons.Error, 16);

    items.Add(new MethodTaskItem(
                "DisplayTime",       // Method Name
                "Show Time",        // Menu item Text
                "DemoCategory")    // Category
                );

    Person prs = new Person(66, "Joe", "Smith");
    MethodTaskItem mti_i = new MethodTaskItem(
                                    "InvTst",       // Method Name
                                    "Invoke Test",   // Menu item Text
                                    sDemoCat,       // Category
                                    "Tool Tip:SC",  // ToolTip non-functional
                                    imgAsk,          // Menu Icon
                                    prs);      // user data
    mti_i.CausesNavigation = false;
    traceMTI(mti_i);

    items.Add(mti_i);


    items.Add(new MethodTaskItem(
          "ShowCnt",       // Method Name
          "Show Count",   // Menu item Text
          sDemoCat,       // Category
          "Tool Tip:SC",  // ToolTip non-functional
          mti_i.Image)    // Menu Icon
          );

    foreach (TaskItem item in items)
    {
        if (item is MethodTaskItem)
            item.Enabled = true;
    }
    return items;
}

The TaskList class is used by many classes and methods in the IIS Manager extensibility API. The HierarchyInfo, Module, and ModulePropertiesPage classes all use TaskList by including the virtual method Tasks.
