Is there a way to figure out the PackageFamilyName (as appearing in the manifest) in runtime? I looked in /Program Files/WindowsApps and could not find the relevant string there. Could not find any API that would let me do this... Any other ideas are welcome. I think what you're looking for is PackageId.FamilyName which is available through the Package.Current.Id.FamilyName property.

This code: RegistryKey rKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run", true); rKey.DeleteValue(Application.ProductName, false); rKey.SetValue(Application.ProductName, Application.ExecutablePath, RegistryValueKind.String); doesn't work on Windows 8. I don't have idea why because on Windows 7 and on Windows XP this solution works. Can you help me? In order to set something in the registry you need to run the application as an administrator. To do so you first add a Application Manifest File to the Properties "folder" in the project. Then you change

What is the best method to connect a Windows Phone app or Windows 8 app directly to an SQL Server? The apps must not use a proxy/IIS etc. and was hoping to connect directly using SQL like with normal desktop applications. Thanks. You can't directly connect to a SQL Server, because of the Metro-Apps-Sandbox concept. They only can comunicate with a server through a service. The only way around this limitation that I know of is a SQLite integration into Windows 8 Apps. In my opinion the best way (if you use Visual Studio) is the EntityFramework . It seems a bit complex at the beginning, but the

I created an IE extension from this source: How to get started with developing Internet Explorer extensions? And it work great. But i want to change int IOleCommandTarget.Exec(IntPtr pguidCmdGroup, uint nCmdID, uint nCmdexecopt, IntPtr pvaIn, IntPtr pvaOut) { var form = new HighlighterOptionsForm(); form.InputText = TextToHighlight; if (form.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.Cancel) { TextToHighlight = form.InputText; SaveOptions(); } return 0; } to this: int IOleCommandTarget.Exec(IntPtr pguidCmdGroup, uint nCmdID, uint nCmdexecopt, IntPtr pvaIn, IntPtr pvaOut) { HTMLDocument document =

WinJS allows you to bind HTML properties dynamically at run-time, similar to XAML binding. <div id="itemTemplate" data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template"...> <h3 data-win-bind="innerText: timestamp"></h3> </div> How if I want to also bind the font color style for <h3> as well, how do I achieve that? Unlike the data-win-options binding which makes use of {key:value,key2:value2} syntax. data-win-binding uses a syntax similar to inline-css styles. Using property:bindingValue;property2:bindingValue2 etc will allow you bind multiple properties to the same HTML control. As an example to answer the

I have some pages in the win8 application, most of which have a similar layout, I use Frame.Navigate to switch the pages. Just wonder if there is something like MasterPage in asp.net webform/mvc. Just create a page with the layout you want and then use templates to customize it for particular views. You could have one main view .xaml file and then create a resource dictionary file (for separation purposes) for each different way you use it. Edit: I found someone who made a "Master Page" for wpf. See here . You could do something similar for metro. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions
