First of all, I am sharing the content from my windows 8 metro application to another app (for example Mailto app) so: Now I am sharing files to mailto app using share contract and sharing files from my application, I wanted to know if: - Can I set the subject to the mailto app to which I am sharing files as an attachement to that mailto app, if so please let me know how can I do this? If not, please let me know what is the work around? As of now, it's not possible. Windows 8 recently introduced a new API called protocol activation. With Protocol activation, you can launch other windows 8 apps

It is exciting that Windows 8 is supporting so many languages for Metro App development. One that especially interested me was the HTML5/CSS/JavaScript. What I don't understand, is this code going to get compiled in a sort of executable (like the C#, VB, and C++ option), or would my app basically be running in IE as an actual web page? Yes. Javascript is executed on Windows 8 by the Chakra engine. Similar to the .NET just-in-time compiler, it translates javascript to optimized machine code. Also the approach taken by Google's V8 and Mozilla's TraceMonkey engines. Some background info is here .

My code uses : WebAuthenticationResult WebAuthenticationResult = await WebAuthenticationBroker.AuthenticateAsync( WebAuthenticationOptions.None, StartUri, EndUri); just like the Microsoft Web authentication broker sample It used to work on my desktop and on my tablet (Surface) but now it is not working on my desktop. It throws exception The process terminated unexpectedly. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007042B) It is working on the tablet and on different windows-8 desktop. Any suggestion what can cause this exception? I'm not sure but I think that the WebAuthBroker needs to be invoke on the UI

I try to add a reference to a SOAP WebService. No problem adding it to the Windows 8.1 part of the project. But no chance to do the same for the WP 8.1. Somehow I could only add a new "Push Notification" as a reference. Adding the generated reference.cs to the WP project directly leads to many unresolved references in System.ServiceModel (i.e. System.ServiceModel.Channels not found). Any idea? Maybe its not in the current beta? VS 2013 Update 2 RC. While not a proper solution, a workaround has been posted by Microsoft: WCF Add Service Reference Not Supported for Windows Phone 8.1 XAML

It seems I can't do myObject.BeginAnimation(dp , animation) . Is this a bug or has it been changed? You need to use a storyboard. Add your animation to the storyboard and have the storyboard begin the animation. var storyboard = new Storyboard(); var opacityAnimation = new DoubleAnimation { From = 0, To = 1, Duration = DurationHelper.FromTimeSpan(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)), }; storyboard.Children.Add(opacityAnimation); Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(opacityAnimation, "Opacity"); Storyboard.SetTarget(storyboard, myObject); storyboard.Begin(); 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8631088/windows

I have check box in my XAML+C# Windows Store application. Also I have bool property: WindowsStoreTestApp.SessionData.RememberUser which is public and static.

Can you help me? You need to implement

How do I port a Windows8 app that I built onto a Surface? I've built the app using Visual Studio and I can test it just fine on the desktop machine by just hitting F5. How can I put it onto a Surface to test it without having to publish it to the Store? Thanks. This link explains how to test your app on a Surface using remote debugging: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2012/10/26/remote-debugging-windows-store-apps-on-surface-arm-devices.aspx A quick summary: 1.
