My Visual Studio can't seem to build any of the Metro Sample applications. As I've never really used this IDE before, I've pretty much given up. Can anyone direct me to a sample application that is already built and preferably some source code along with it for reference? Note: I have a copy of Windows 7 AND 8. However I can't seem to build Microsoft's File Access Sample in my copy of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. I'm trying to test one of my Win7 applications in Metro mode of Win8 (the application may be called for use during a user's session in a given Metro app). Metro Apps (that is,

I am currently writing a Metro application and I want to integrate managed SQL handling within my app by connecting it to my web SQL DB. What are my options for .NET 4.5?

I won't recommend using the State, it's much easier to use just IsolatedStorage for preserving data both between sessions and pages as well, to keep is simple. All data should be saved in ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings or IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings in case they are simple objects like string, bool,
