how can i sort the items of GridView horizontal in the XAML? Sadly i found no method to achieve this. The Keyword "Orientation" is not available. Here is my current GridView: <GridView x:Name="TestDataBinding" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" VerticalContentAlignment="Top" SelectionMode="None" ItemsSource="{Binding}" ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource itemTemplateSelector}" Margin="0,60,0,0" Width="1100" Height="540" /> Another Way could be a "VariableSizedWrapGrid". But this can't be used for creating Items through "ItemsSource" (and ItemTemplateSelector). Sorry, I have to take issue with

I'm developing a Windows Metro app, and am getting an issue with the UI becoming unresponsive. As far as I can tell, the cause is as follows: <ListView ... SelectionChanged="ItemListView_SelectionChanged" ... This event is handled here: async void ItemListView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) { if (this.UsingLogicalPageNavigation()) this.InvalidateVisualState(); MyDataItem dataItem = e.AddedItems[0] as MyDataItem; await LoadMyPage(dataItem); } private async Task LoadMyPage(MyDataItem dataItem) { SyndicationClient client = new SyndicationClient(); SyndicationFeed

I am trying to decompile the ComboBox control for my Windows Store app into C#, but there's no code. Instead, all the properties are calls to a separate assembly, it seems. How do I find where the real code exists, and how do I read the method bodies in C#? I cannot read assembly, so that would do me no good Some notes on how to reverse-engineer the WinRT internals. Under the hood, WinRT is pure COM. First place you want to look on your machine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\WinRT This directory contains IDL files, or Interface Description Language . IDL is the starting

I'm currently writing an app for Windows 8 using Metro and C#. In my app I use a combination of scrollviewer and gridview to show my data. My problem is however, how can I make it scrollable with a mouse wheel? In my searching I found MouseWheelParameters located in System.Windows.Input, but when I try to use the get_pageTranslation, it gives an error stating I can't explicitly use the get method. The "get_pageTranslation" is actually the " PageTranslation " property on the MouseWheelParameters, you access it by saying: wheelParameters.PageTranslation this: get_PageTranslation() is the name of

Mostly out of curiosity, I started programming a small "Metro Style" project in Visual Studio 2011, the one that was released in Windows Developer Preview. It combines XAML for the design and C# (in my project) for the code-behind. The C# experience is mostly identical to the one you get on Visual Studio 2008 with .NET framework 4.0, save for these features that I wasn't able to find : System.Console , which make debugging a bit more difficult, And System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan) , which is a bit more inconvenient since that's exactly what I needed right now. So are these features

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

In a desktop .NET application, the standard option for implementing a local relational database is to use SQL Server Compact Edition, and then of course there is the possibility to use SQLite and other third-party engines. What are the options available to a

I am trying to implement in-app purchase for my Windows Store App (Metro App). I was referring to the code samples here , but when I triggered the RequestProductPurchaseAsync method nothing happens. When I say nothing happens, it means literally nothing. No return results (the result was supposed to be a receipt since I passed in true for includeReceipt ). Also, when I re-checked the ProductLicences[string].IsActive flag it will always return me false. How do I test this out properly? Thanks a lot! Make sure the app LicenseInformation.IsTrial is false, otherwise it won't work. In-app product

I would like to encrypt and decrypt strings with a password. I use C# and WinRT (MetroStyle). Have somebody a class for encryption/decryption? The normal .Net System.Security.Cryptography namespace does not exist in Metro. You use the CryptographicEngine class in Windows.Security.Cryptography.Core namespace instead. If the password is only being verified/authenticated, do not encrypt it. Instead, use the following: using Windows.Security.Cryptography.Core; using Windows.Security.Cryptography; using Windows.Storage.Streams; ... // Use Password Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2 or RFC2898)
