Windows Calendar

I see that there are a few references for the Windows Sidebar (which I am also guessing is the Vista gadgets), but I see there are references for items such as contacts, cpu, folder, timezone, and others.

Are there any plans for doing calendar references I just install Vista, and I love the Windows calendar. Works good with subscriptions, but I would like to be able to have a gadget to display the events for the day without having to open the program. Similar to the contacts.

Thanks,

Jamie

    I'm hoping bigtime that they create a WSG for Windows Calendar as well. The current Calendar gadget looks good but it's pretty useless as is besides telling you what the date is. it's The gadget should allow you to switch from day, week and monthly view by single clicking (similarly to how the current gadget does that right now).

    What I am really looking for is a way to integrate Windows Calendar with the gadgets. I'm not sure if what you are suggesting will work that way.

    You can build a gadget that calls a .net webservice and have the webservice return the asp:calendar control that has databound to it. Use calendar.rendercontrol(htmlwriter) returned as a string. Set the innerHTML of a div on the gadget as the return value from the webservice. I’ve build several calendar sidebar gadgets for my company since Vista hit RTM. You also have to build javascript functions that calls additional webservies to get things like next/ prev month to switch months, Day clicked if you want to display the data for a selected date.
