Ok, I finally worked out most of the bugs (I hope). I'll post the link and follow up with some tutorials and Sidebar Gadget development using .NET.

Here's the file...using the new SkyDrive Beta to host the file!!!

If you could include a sample .NET project (perhaps with a UserControl) in your tutorial that would be killer.

I am very impressed of your little Tool to enhance developing Sidebar Gadgets in .Net. My Question is how to change the background color of the .Net User Control to transparent. I tried setting the color in the user control itself in Visual Studio(BackColor Attribute to Transparent) but then the gadget's backcolor turns to white. Is there any solution or is it impossible?

Hi!

How do I create transparent Gadgets with the Sidebar Gadget Creator?

I already tried to set the UserControl transparent, but that didn't work..

Can I modify the custom config site in the gadget?

The only says everything "Replace with your custom settings?".

Good was a UserControl can do this!

Could you post a sample somewhere that contains the sample control so we can see how to do it? Or post a tutorial?

Hi! I tried with the examples but always only a blank square is displayed on the sidebar for the generated Gadget, I also tried with the Web Cam code
