Desktop Sidebar using C#??

    If you meain a window that docks in the working area like the Taskbar of windows or like Trillian.. then you must create a Application Desktop Toolbar, the Form class of .NET doesn't got this so you must write it yourself.
    But there are some good articles out there that help you develop such things, MSDN for a nice page, this covers all you needs but meybe you want some sample code to and some more tutorial like article. Then i can recommend you the C# does Shell articles from Arik Poznanski, he write a serie of articles about this topic. Part 3 is about creating a Applicatoin Desktop Toolbar.

    I hope this helps!

    Hey I think you just probably have to add the reference that allows you to use it to the project. Right click references and select add reference and then grab the assembly you need.

    If you search here there are lots of tutorials on system.globalization:
