If you are going to go along the path of the sample framework, I have put together an article on Coding4Fun that goes through setting up a basic application template using the sample framework as a base. This end product is the same as the empty project from the SDK, but it includes information like adding media files and content to the project, and then exporting it as a template for reuse later (Similar to the old Project Templates of the 2004 SDK Versions).
After that you can then have a look at my blog post on rotating a simple mesh, this will give you the basic steps to use one of the built in mesh systems and rotate it on the screen.

The best method for starting a new project is to use the "Install Project" feature in the SDKs' "Sample Browser" program. Load that up, and one of the links under each entry will be "Install Project" - click that and it'll copy the necessary project/code files for you to start working with... There's one called "EmptyProject" that is equivalent to creating other types of new project in VStudio.
Have you read through the tutorials and programming guide in the SDK That should give you a fair amount to get started with.

Gabi - I have posted an message in your other post.
For the example of using a panel, sorry I have not done much at all with that, but you might be able to talk to Zman as he has done some work with it. Also there is an example in the user samples on www.gotdotnet.com that does use an older version of the framework and a panel. Here is the link to the sample...
