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

For a Windows 8 App, in C#/Xaml I try to register a background task. It's hard to tell but I guess my background task is well registred but when I click on the name of my background task on the Debug Location Toolbar my app stops working without any message. I looked at the log on the Event Viewer and I get : "The background task with entry point MyApp.Pages.SampleBackgroundTask and name Example hourly background task failed to activate with error code 0x80010008." Here is my code : private async void Button_Click_BackgroundTask(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { string entryPoint = "MyApp

I just downloaded the Android Developer Tools Bundle. I started following the setup instructions and gotten as far as extracting the files to new location ("Development") as it says. I tried running the Eclipse app as instructed, yet a window popped up saying; A Java Runtime Environment (JRT) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following location: C:.........\Development\adt-bundle-windows\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe javaw.exe in your current PATH" I tried compatibility trouble-shooter which can not detect

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 have a basic class that makes GET and POST requests using HttpWebRequest / HttpWebResponse . I use my class to login to an API and then request data. In a Windows 8 "Metro" application, it works exactly as expected. On a Windows Phone 8 application, the login appears to succeed, but in the subsequent request for data, no cookies are sent and the server responds as if the client is not logged in. Here is the class, this exact same code is used in the Windows 8 app and the Windows Phone app: class Class1 { CookieContainer cookieJar = new CookieContainer(); CookieCollection responseCookies =
