I was playing around trying to write gadgets for Vista. Got the basic gadget written and then I started setting it up to run as a Gadget. Could not get it to work??
After a few hours, I found out that the problem, is that the gadget.xml manifest file format has changed from Beta 2 to RC1. So if you are using the older format then it will not appear in the available gadgets window. And most of the articles out there have the old format.
As of now the best resource for this is Gadget Development Overview. Once the change has been made, everything loaded ok.
