Hi Bassam

The Vista sidebar does not support managed gadgets (.NET 2.0 or WinFX) today.  If this is a feature you feel strongly about, please email gadgetfb@microsoft.com.  You're feedback in this area is much appreciated.

Thank you!

well, the question was not to programm a gadget for the windows vista sidebar....

what you probably mean is called a desktop toolbar, if you want to program something LIKE the vista sidebar, take a look at this article:
