I am new to windows 8 metro apps development and i need your help in figuring out my doubt about the database support to metro applications ? i am developing a application which requires reasonably huge amount of data to be stored in its database , it would require many tables and relation between them , with help of this i can fetch the data from database and show it to user , and perform the required operations on it and sync the data when internet connection is there.

I do not have Windows 8 and Metro installed. My question is based on the documentation. It appears DataGrid is gone but ListView and GridView remain. GridViewColumn is gone. I get the tile nature of Metro. My question is can GridView be configured for a row column presentation? I have an app that for the most part would present great under Metro and would benefit from rights contracts. But there is one page were I need old school GridViewColumn like presentation. Thanks I'm not sure if I got your question. You want elements added to a ListView/GridView are displayed in a row? I use for the

I'm creating an application for windows 8 metro, I need to render a framework control into an image and save it to hard disk but do not know how. Can I use SharpDX for this? How can I do? Thanks in advance for the help If you follow through this thread the limitations of Metro and the reasons why it won't work are explained. The essence of it is: Sorry, but rendering Xaml to an element or capturing a screenshot of your own app did not make it into the release version. It is by design that an app cannot capturing a screenshot of another app. A workaround mentioned is: What I meant was - you can

I have the following c# / WinRT code to receive a response from an IMAP command DataReader reader = new DataReader(sock.InputStream); reader.InputStreamOptions = InputStreamOptions.Partial; await reader.LoadAsync(1000000); string data = string.Empty; while(reader.UnconsumedBufferLength > 0){ data += reader.ReadString(reader.UnconsumedBufferLength); } The results are truncated after 8192 bytes. 8192 looks suspiciously like a limit of some kind. How do I get around this? The abstraction of TCP/IP sockets is a stream of bytes, not a stream of messages , as I explain on my blog. So it's perfectly

So in WPF and Silverlight you could set the caret color for TextBox using TextBox.CaretBrush, but in WinRT it seems in all their wisdom they removed this property. So now if the TextBox is a dark color, since it defaults the caret color to black you can't see it, and if the background color of your TextBox is black the caret ceases to exist completely. I find this completely illogical, there has got to be a way to change the caret color, either pragmatically or something? Does anyone have any ideas? This is not possible. You need to switch your TextBox to light background when it has focus so

I have a basic DataTemplate which I use to bind to the basic objects which expose several properties. These items are displayed in an ItemList . I am trying to ensure that the TextBlock which is bound to Icon , displays the symbol similar to  which would be stored in the object's Icon property. <DataTemplate x:Key="Action180x180ItemTemplate"> <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="180" Height="180"> <Border Background="OliveDrab"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Icon}" FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol" FontSize="72" Padding="0,20,0,0" TextAlignment="Center" /> </Border> <StackPanel VerticalAlignment=

I am trying to build an application using the unofficial Google music api for .net in Windows 8 metro interface. I am loading the whole playlist foreach (GoogleMusicPlaylist p in pls.UserPlaylists) lbPlaylists.Items.Add(p.Title); and it comes up with this error HRESULT: 0x8001010E (RPC_E_WRONG_THREAD)) And I read around the internet and maybe I have to use dispatcher or something I am just generally confused. Use this Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => { foreach (GoogleMusicPlaylist p in pls.UserPlaylists) { lbPlaylists.Items.Add(p.Title); } }); 来源： https://stackoverflow
