I'm building a universal app and my Win8.1 app has to show a grid of items. Normally the grid consists of 3 columns, but on smaller screens I want the items to wrap so that there are only 2 columns (or even 1). This is my code: <GridView ItemsSource="{Binding Regions}" IsItemClickEnabled="True"> <GridView.ItemsPanel> <ItemsPanelTemplate> <ItemsWrapGrid Orientation="Horizontal" MaximumRowsOrColumns="3" MinWidth="400" /> </ItemsPanelTemplate> </GridView.ItemsPanel> <GridView.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="10"> <Image Source="{Binding Code, Converter=

I added a "Basic Page" to my project in a folder ("View") that I created within the project. At first all was well, but "all of a sudden" the design view failed and displayed: System.ObjectDisposedException Safe handle has been closed This is the XAML (I hadn't changed a thing in the default XAML generated yet): <common:LayoutAwarePage x:Name="pageRoot" x:Class="TimeAndSpaceLines.View.SectionPage" DataContext="{Binding DefaultViewModel, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

I have calls to Grid.SetRow and Grid.SetColumn in my code which I'm trying to animate. According to the answer at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-CA/wpf/thread/257779f7-b459-43fc-a4a1-f24641c50e09 , it is recommended to make use of FluidMoveBehavior, but it doesn't look like this is available for Windows 8. What are my options for animating the children of a Grid when their positions change? I'm basically looking for a way to achieve linear transition. There is a new built-in feature called Transitions that can be used, here is an intro . Try adding a RepositionThemeTransition to

I would like to get some user inputs for my app like Name, DOB, etc from a modal window for this I need a dialog to be displayed which would contain the textboxes and other controls. Normally in WinForms/WPF I would create a class inherited from the Form/Window class and use the Show/ShowDialog method to present the form to the user How do I achieve this behavior in Windows 8 metro apps using XAML/C# ? I have looked at the MessageDialog class under the Windows.UI.Popups namespace but its for showing only message like the classic MessageBox. I have looked at another CoreWindowFlyout class and

It used to be I could cancel the tilt effect on GridView/ListView by editing the item container style and removing the storyboard animations. However, when I edit the templates now on Win10 Universal apps, I am not seeing any of the storyboards. Where can I cancel the animation at? Here's the style that's generated for me (and when used, does not disable animation): <Style x:Key="ListViewItemStyle1" TargetType="ListViewItem"> <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}"/> <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}"/>

When the visibility of a CarViewControl is set to collapsed, it still shows a placeholder where it used to be (see screenshot below). Is there any way to completely hide a ListViewItem when it is Collapsed? XAML Code <ScrollViewer> <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding CarVM.UserCars}" ShowsScrollingPlaceholders="False"> <ListView.ItemContainerStyle> <Style TargetType="ListViewItem"> <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/> </Style> </ListView.ItemContainerStyle> <ListView.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <ctrl:CarViewControl Car="{Binding}" Visibility="{Binding HideCar, Converter
