I built an extended splash screen for my windows uwp application. I followed the example code including the xaml for extended spash screen from this page Display a splash screen for more time It renders correctly on the desktop window, it is centered perfectly and aligned exactly with the initial splash screen image, however when I try a mobile emulator, (I tried one of 5 inch screen at 720p) the extended splash screen page image seems too large (it looks almost twice or three times larger), and appears cut off to the bottom right of the page, I'm assuming the progress ring is below the image

I'm trying to create a bitmap image, and have the following code: RenderTargetBitmap renderTargetBitmap = new RenderTargetBitmap(); await renderTargetBitmap.RenderAsync(uielement); IBuffer pixels = await renderTargetBitmap.GetPixelsAsync(); . . . var pixelArray = pixels.ToArray(); In order to get a ToArray() extension, I came across this question. So I added: using System.Runtime.InteropServices.WindowsRuntime; // For ToArray To my code. However, when I run, I get the following error: Exception thrown: 'System.ArgumentException' in System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime.dll Additional information: The

I need set custom UA and I use httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "blahblah"); theWebView.NavigateWithHttpRequestMessage(httpRequestMessage); But if I click any link on page this UA erased and set default UA. I found same question WebView - Define User-Agent on every request but maybe it fixed in 1607? Jay Zuo WebView is not a general-purpose browser, it does have some "limitations" that not supported now. There is no API can set the default User-Agent that used in every request. As a workaround we can use WebView.NavigationStarting event along with WebView

I am building a Universal class library from existing code, and I get some compiler warnings that I for the life of it cannot figure out what to do with. I have code like this: void SomeMethod(Object data) { var size = Marshal.SizeOf(data); ... } The code builds, but in the Universal project (and, I guess, .NET 4.5.1 and higher projects) I get the following compiler warning: warning CS0618: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(object)' is obsolete: 'SizeOf(Object) may be unavailable in future releases. Instead, use SizeOf<T>(). But how do I create a replacement for Marshal.SizeOf

While working on an Universal App (currently only on the WP8.1-side), I've stumbled upon the following weird thing. I've got a ComboBox, the UserControl (located in the WindowsPhone-project) it's in is binded to a VM in the Shared project. Both the ItemsSource and SelectedItem are binded to their respective properties in the VM. When running the application, when you select any item except the first one, it is working perfectly. But, when I select the first item, the string displayed in the ComboBox shows the .ToString() -method of the VM instead... (Btw, it's a simple List<string> , the

Just created default project Holographic DirectX11 App (Universal Windows) in VS2015 Update 2 with HoloLens emulator installed and hit F5. HoloLens emulator starts loading, but at some point The emulator is unable to connect to the device operating system: The emulator is unable to determine the host IP address, which is used to communicate with the guest virtual machine.

I have a simple and I need to change colors of my buttons every second in that . I use this code btnBlue.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Windows.UI.Colors.Blue) But it doesn't contain my custom color that I have use in xaml like #FF30B3DD ! So what should I do ? can anybody help me ? You can use Color.FromArgb() to define a custom color in code: btnBlue.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 48, 179, 221)); Alternatively, you can define the color in XAML in advance as a resource: <Page.Resources> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="BlueColor" Color="#FF30B3DD" /> </Page.Resources> You can
