I've been wanting to play with a few technologies as of late but never got around to it. Two of these are the Windows Vista Sidebar
and Silverlight. So here I am, trying to kill two birds with one stone.
I was curious if Silverlight works in the sidebar (why wouldn't it?) and to satisfy my curiosity I've taken one of the samples that ship with the Silverlight SDK and transformed it in a Sidebar gadget. You can see the results on the right, sans the animation of course. Some tweaking was required using Expressions Blend 2 May preview, so I got the chance to try that out too. Pretty nifty piece of software! I can think of a couple more cool things I could do with Silverlight in the sidebar.
I've uploaded the gadget files here for those who want to check it out: SilverlightClock.zip
