Thanks! We're happy to hear you like the site. Adding a Search box is a great idea. I've just updated the site to now display a Bing search box at the top of each page.

sweet! I can't wait. I've been messing with the other XBL gadget that was posted somewhere on here. But it's a bit outdated itself, and is just plain html/css/javascript. I'd rather see this Silverlight one put to use.

If you could at least change one thing: make the settings so that the gamertag input box is 1 per line, rather than separated by commas. I think it's very easy for people to have their settings get a bit messed up with adding lots of friends =]

Also, a toggle to show/hide offline users would be phenomenal. Thanks!

Yes, I'm working on a new version right now that I expect to have finished in July. This one is going to be much better than before, I'm really enjoying working on it.

Well played Mr. Jenkins. I can't talk to Silverlight 3 yet, but here is a screenshot of text from two of the games mentioned above: http://adamkinney.com/images/blog/gametext.gif

If you check out the Manic Miner game and click the screen, the text comes flying at you and gives you a good idea of what the text looks like close up.

I've made my decision. I liked them all for separate reasons. Denis, I really liked the custom animation. Grant, the integrated audio is a fun feature and Kristopher I really enjoyed the graphic design of your story. Overall I'm impressed you were able to put something together in such a short time and with very little announcement of this contest.

I'm very happy to let you know, all three of your entries have been selected and you're all getting passes to MIX09 :)

Just email your contact information to me at: adam.kinney@microsoft.com and I'll send you the rest of the details. Congratulations!

I do have some new ones to add to the list, but no Windows Media Player ones. I'll see what I can find.

Re: PhotoSuru, an innovative photo-viewing WPF application | Adam Kinney, Continuum Explorer

AdamKinney — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:48:31 -0000

I ended up writing a seperate ASP.Net page that would request my Flickr feed rss, transform it to the Subscription format for PhotoSuru and then output that as XML. There was a heirarchy of feeds to create though and realized I should refactor it into an ASP.Net application though to handle all of the URL requests. I'd still like to put something together but haven't found the time yet unfortunately.

Yes it can, actually. The project linker links any projects in VS. It can be used regardless of project type.

Thanks for the info Adam,
I seem to have the same problem, however I am running Windows7 beta so there is no physical sidebar.

Anyway I can get the gadgets to run in 32 bit mode as well?

EDIT: I'm an idiot, a little research and I found out Windows7 does still use the sidebar.exe.

It now run in 32 bit mode and I dont get the silverlight error anymore :) A new problem though, all the gadget says is "click the settings icon to the right to add your friends' gamer tags...but I dont have a settings button. Only the X and a move button. Any ideas?
