windows-8

I have attempted to create a Phonegap app supporting both Android and Windows8 for the Dropbox Javascript Datastores API that makes use of the example provided here: https://github.com/dropbox/cordova-datastores-example When I build and run the Android app, it runs perfectly on the Android tablet. But when I run the app created for Windows8, an error is displayed: The app couldn't navigate to ... because of this error: FORBIDFRAMING . And then nothing happens afterwards. I haven't been able to find an alternative to using a frame. I would like to know, if there is a way to run the Windows8 app

When I try to run .NET 3.5 applications on Windows 8.1 which has not .NET 3.5 Framework, Windows will show the "An app on your PC needs the following Windows feature. .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0)" dialog automatically. But I want to show this dialog programmatically. I think that the dialog is much more friendly than DISM command. Any help would be appreciated. The dialogue you are searching for is provided by a tool called Fondue (Features on Demand User Experience Tool). To request .NET 3.5 you need to invoke it like this: FONDUE.exe /enable-feature:NetFx3 Available

Possible Duplicate: Force WinRT app to snapped view Is it possible to start a MetroApp directly in snapped mode? I want to call another App by Protocol, an the App should open in Snapped mode. The call to the App by Protocol is not a problem, it works fine, but the App opens in Fullscreen or Main-Content Mode. I have'nt found any configuration to say "start on Sidebar". Please Help! As of now the answer is no. Since the snapped mode functionality depends on the user , you cant skip it / restrict it using code , Hope MS might provide this feature in further . As @Hermit Dave mentioned

How does one query data such as App Icons, Reviews, Stars, Price, etc. from Windows Store in another App? For instance, picture an app called "best drawing tools" with comparisons of 5 popular drawing tool apps, then links to Window Store (Or even better direct install links). The premise of the app "Great Windows Apps" (http://www.greatwindowsapps.com) seems to be the basic functionality I am trying to imitate. I also found MetroStore Scanner http://metrostore.preweb.sk which appears to query the windows store from the web, but I am looking to query from another app. I have been researching

I have this piece of code in my Windows Store app where I handle a button click. But somehow, UI freezes when I click this button on rare occasion. It mostly happens when I connect to a Wi-Fi network further away than the one I usually connect to. Taking into consideration that I download a RSS feed from the internet, it is most probably related to my using of async/await keywords. If I correctly understood the mechanics of async/await, UI thread should not block at all. Am I missing something here? private async void Add_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { AddButton.Visibility = Windows

Is there any official Winrt SDK's are available for Dorpbox, EverNote and GoogleDoc. I searched for this in the internet but didn't find any working solutions. If anyone know more about this(Either official or 3rd party sdk's) Please share your thoughts with me. Thanks in advance, Stephan Dropbox don't have WinRT api and probably it' wont change in near future, but you can also use REST Api: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/api So you can simply use this REST api because Windows 8/RT supports programing in JavaScript and HTML: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/apps
