I am trying to store data in a "Metro" App for Windows 8 using IndexedDB. I would like to be able to browse the database (to monitor that my operations modify the data as intended). So my question is; Is there any way of viewing the actual database of a metro app (IE10)? (something like in Chrome Dev Tools (Resources > IndexedDB)) Regards Not that I know, but my linq2indexeddb library has a viewer in it. That way you can inspect the content of you database while debugging. The nuget package for Metro apps can be found here . And as last, I have a blogpost on how you can use it. The IE team has

Windows 8 metro style app tiles are created based on pre-defined xml templates (found here ). Is there any way to hook up to Windows' rendering of the tile to allow a tile preview within an app?

I just need to know if I need the same framework to develop an app for Windows 8 for Tablets (Windows RT) and PCs or the tablet one still uses .NET compact framework. The only type of applications that run on Windows RT (ie. the Tablet/ARM version of Windows 8) are Windows Store Apps. These are full-screen applications that run on top of the WinRT API. You can use a subset of .NET 4.5 on these devices, and use XAML to build your interface just like you would with WPF on the desktop. You can read more on MSDN - .NET for Windows Store apps overview . This article describes a lot of the changes

I'm trying to implement my own Spell Check provider for Windows 8. I have a class which receives a word and returns the correct word, however, I cannot find the class or function in the Spell Checking Provider Sample by Microsoft where I receive the user input string and return for it the correction. Since you are implementing a spell checking provider, you will be implementing the ISpellCheckProvider interface. (In the sample you refer to, this is implemented by the SampleSpellCheckProvider class) There are actually two phases for spell checking. The first is checking to see whether some text

I have a program I've written on Windows 7 (64-bit) that compiles and runs correctly on my computer. But on other computers (specifically on Windows 8 (64-bit)) the program does not run. When I try to run it it says that my program has stopped working, it crashes. I should add, both computers have .Net installed at version 4.5. But, if I delete all the components that I've added onto my form (I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Express) it runs just fine. But I have to delete all of the components. Deleting only some of them doesn't work. Has anyone heard of this happening? Thanks to Hans, I hadn't
