Gadget Development
Smart Space gadgets are lightweight, specialized mini-applications that can be placed anywhere on a user's Windows desktop. In addition to the gadgets that ship with Smart Space, custom gadgets can be built to provide access to core Smart Space functionality and to the custom features available through third-party Smart Space services or the .NET Framework. Custom gadgets are created using the Smart Space Development Kit (SDK), which integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 by providing C# and Visual Basic project templates and integrated help.
