Thanks for the info on the gadget development. I'm trying to debug the javascript in our gadget, and I can't work out how to tell Visual Studio that I'm debugging a gadget not an ASP.NET website. Got any help on how to do that?

What I did was use Attach To Process on the debug menu, an attached to the Sidebar.exe hosting my gadget. Then I could use the VS debugger with JavaScript.

Anyone know of a way to programatically uninstall a gadget? We deployed a gadget to all of our users as a replaement for another one. We want to be able to remove the old one. Any ideas?

I need some help developing a gadget, i want the text input from the options window to be saved and displayed in the flyout in a table, i have played around with it a lot but can't for the life of me figure it out, and finding help is not much easier. I would really appreciate it from anyone.

Hi! Loved your article.
I have a question thought... Do you think it is possible to add some sort of database to a gadget? for example if you want to keep track of the user‘s requests on the search bar. "Norway" would have to appear on your database, for example.

hello - i really appreciated your article; can you send me an example (if you will) on how to build a gadget to display an image (locally stored) and a text over it (text stored on xml file) - let's say i have 2 tags on xml file: today's date and a text. I want to show on the gadget today's text over the picture. Is it difficuld to do?
