        gadgetId,                        // Guid for the registry subkey
        ScfSideShowGadget.ScfEndpointId, // Endpoints registry value
        "Example SideShow gadget",       // FriendlyName registry value
        null,                            // StartCommand registry value
        null,                            // Icon registry value, this gadget will use the generic gadget icon.
        false,                           // OnlineOnly registry value
        GadgetCachePolicies.KeepNewest,  // CachePolicy registry value
        null);

    // Construct a Simple Content Format SideShow gadget for the gadget's Guid.
    using (ScfSideShowGadget gadget = new ScfSideShowGadget(gadgetId))
    {
        // Create Simple Content Format XML strings and send them to connected SideShow devices.
        // Add Glance content showing the date/time of the last update.
        gadget.AddGlanceContent(
        String.Format("Content updated on {0}{1:D}.", Environment.NewLine, DateTime.Now));

        // Menu
        gadget.AddContent(
            // This Simple Content Format Menu page navigates to text and image content.
            Scf.Menu(ScfSideShowGadget.HomePageContentId, "Simple Gadget Menu", ScfSelectAction.Target,
                Scf.Item(2, "See text"),
