Introduction
the last article /mceDivX360 left me wanting an MCE programming model that would allow for a rich UI (without having to resort to Hosted HTML or waiting for Vista). as i was nosing my way around the developer.mediacenter newsgroup i came across a post that caught my attention : .NET Applets in MCE. for some reason i did not think this was possible and that only ActiveX controls would work? but Dean, of 10footgames.net, linked to some sample code that did just that. even better, the mcepeaks v2 game is developed using that model and it even works on an XBox 360 extender! immediately started looking around for more sample code and info on this topic ... but there wasn't much to find. but Dean did point me to DotNETris which provides source code and he also answered the many questions i had based on his experiences with mcepeaksv2. so a # of the tips outlined below were originally discovered by Dean.
this article will explore the Embedded WinForm Control programming model which gives us rich UI capabilities and a powerful application model. the end result of the article is an application which uses Yahoo web services to do video search and playback on MCE (and the XBox 360).
