        GadgetCachePolicies.KeepNewest,  // CachePolicy registry value
        null);

    // Construct a Simple Content Format SideShow gadget for the gadget's Guid.
    using (ScfSideShowGadget gadget = new ScfSideShowGadget(gadgetId))
    {
        // Add Glance content.
        gadget.AddGlanceContent(
           String.Format("Some glance content"));

                    Scf.Item(textPage2Id, "Navigate to text page 2.")));
        gadget.AddContent(content);
        
        // Construct the dialog page.
        string dialogPage1 = Scf.Body(
         Scf.Dialog(dialogPage1Id, "Dialog Page 1 Title",
         Scf.Txt(ScfAlign.Left, true, Color.Black, "Do you want to go to page 1?"),
