How do you display a Silverlight 2.0 application in a Vista Sidebar gadget? Whenever I load a gadget with the standard Silverlight 2 object tag, I get the no-silverlight default content instead of the app. So, what's the trick to allowing it to run?
This is how I am currently trying to pull it off:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Unicode" />
<title>Silverlight Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0;
width: 130px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="source" value="GTest.xap"/>
<param name="background" value="transparent" />
<param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="2.0.31005.0" />
<param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
<param name="windowless" value="true" />
Get Silverlight
</object>
</body>
</html>
Is there a setting I can use in IE that affects the sidebar so it will allow Silverlight to execute?
Even if I can get it working just on my computer, that would be a good start.

Just to clarify for future generations:
Changing the source value to "x-gadget://ClientBin/GTest.xap" did the trick.
