Does WinRT provides an option to fall back to software ClearType font rendering (as Direct2D do via "Direct2D and GDI Interoperability") or we will be stuck with somewhat blurry hardware font anti-aliasing only? No. Windows on ARM will not support ClearType. This is by design. Instead, Windows on ARM tablets will be required to have a high DPI. http://www.istartedsomething.com/20120303/cleartype-takes-a-back-seat-for-windows-8-metro/ 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7487080/winrt-and-software-cleartype-font-rendering

I have following situation in my WinRT metro (c# - xaml) application : User launch the application and he or she is not logged in. In the menu bar I have button which navigates them to Shopping cart. It's important to mention that they can click on it regardless of logged in/out status. So I have this : Home Page - > Login Page - > Shopping Cart And everything works great, but when I try press BACK button on my Shopping Cart page I'm navigated back to Login Page, which make sense, because page is in my navigation history. But I don't want that, I want to return user to Home Page and skip login

On Windows 8 using Visual Studio 2012 RC on a german system, I get all my Exceptions localized to german, which effectively means I can't google anything useful for them. To solve this, I already used the following to change my IDE to english language: Tools --> Options --> Internetional Settings --> Language --> English Nevertheless, I get my exceptions in the localized german language. I tried changing the ThreadUI Culture in code using this code: Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-us"); Sadly, in WinRT the Thread namespace is gone in WinRT. Therefore I tried: System

I notice Debug.Assert does not trigger in Metro apps, however, if the project is a traditional one like Console or WinForm, it does trigger. And yes, I am in Debug mode. Is it a setting not properly set in Visual Studio (11 Beta)? Or Debug.Assert is intended to be disabled in metro apps? I know many exceptions are swallowed during the execution of Metro apps, but Debug.Assert is so handy that I can't think of a reason why it should be disabled. It does trigger, look in the Output window. It just doesn't automatically prompt you to ask if you want a debugger break and thus just keeps motoring.

I'm trying to use MEF in Windows 8. In order to build up my AssemblyCatalog for the container, I need a reference to the assembly. In the past, I would have just done this: var catalog = new AssemblyCatalog(typeof(App).Assembly); Mysteriously, the Assembly property no longer exists on the Type object. Anybody know of a good work around? Is there another way to get the assembly? I could load it using Assembly.Load , but I would need the name of the assembly. I can't get that from the type either. Is using a DirectoryCatalog a possible alternate? I don't like the idea, but I'll do what I need to

I am getting the following exception when attempting to read a locl text file using var text = await FileIO.ReadTextAsync(file); The handle with which this oplock was associated has been closed. The oplock is now broken. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070323) This happens in one of the regression unit tests, it also happens from time to time in the app. App is XAML + C# Any ideas what might be causing it?! I was having the same problem, that ocurred by concurrence threading. I was trying to acess the same file in two places at the same time and didn't realize it. Try to verify your code looking

I have a WebView component that I use to display HTML Ads in my app. When user clicks an Ad in the WebView I want to open the Ad link in an external browser. How do I do that? I need something like OnNavigating from the WP7 browser. I tried the Tapped event of the WebView but it never gets called even when I set IsTapEnabled=true. I need something like You will need to use the ScriptNotify event for this. Here's how I handled the scenario (using NavigateToString). If you're retrieving the web view content from a URL, you will need be able to modify the HTML for this to work. Add the following
