Windows Gadgets: Testing environment?
Is there anything that provides a console, error logging, etc. for testing Windows Gadgets? I've searched but I'm una开发者_如何学JAVAble to find anything.
Thanks in advance!
A simple and easy start is to just use any web developing toolkit. I found out myself that for developing simple Windows Gadgets, Notepad++ and Firefox with its Web Developer toolbar was more than enough. You can implement all the business logic and just test the results in a browser. Actually starting it as a Gadget was only needed to fine-tune some graphical glitches that always occur because of different browsers still interpreting CSS a little differently. Firefox has some nice tools for debugging Javascript.
You can use firebug lite for IE (i.e put a script tag and include the latest firebug lite version).It does look a bit crude but it works nonetheless and its seamless integration for testing.

Though your gadget might seem a bit mutilated when using it. :)
