Xbox Friends Watch : Silverlight Sidebar Gadget

Posted By: Adam Kinney | Oct 24th, 2007 @ 11:28 PM

Now that HALO 3 has been released, my Xbox 360 and I are hanging out together again, Xbox Live is in the picture too. Why? Best answer could be HALO 3 multiplayer mode, and what's better than multiplayer mode? Multiplayer mode with friends.

This resulted in a perfect opportunity to create a new sidebar gadget, which of course since I'm a big fan of Silverlight I used it as the UI for the gadget. I'm pretty happy with the results and this video is a quick demo of how the gadget works.

Thanks tom Smiley

I'm working on putting together a Silverlight-based Sidebar gadget template, which I'll be posting soon.
