  • Creating a Gadget style window with WPF and Visual Basic.NET 2008

    I don’t know if it is a case of my actually knowing more or the fact that doing stuff with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is easier. To me it seems doing what I want is getting quicker these days. The ability to create and use semi-transparent...
