EDIT : Here are the pastebins for the code: BasicPage1.xaml.cs BasicPage1.xaml LayoutAwarePage.cs EDIT 2 I have added a MS Connect ticket here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/771648/c-xaml-compile-error-various-errors-the-name-layoutawarepage-does-not-exist#tabs Right a head scratcher which I'm hoping others have experienced and know how to resolved as I'm a little disheartened by the whole affair. The Problem I have been working on a Windows Store App using C#/XAML to learn the ropes. After hours spent learning I decided to start my own App, which is fine. The

I am trying to use a XAML ScrollViewer to 'cheaply' add pinch-zooming to an image. The issue however is that when panning around the image, it keeps snapping to the very left. If I slide it right, it looks fine, but the second I release the image, it snaps back to the left. This problem only persists horizontally - for vertical panning, it works fine. I abstracted this to the most simple test case, and it persists. My XAML code is as follows: <ScrollViewer> <Image Source="http://i.imgur.com/1WlGT.jpg" /> </ScrollViewer> Any help is appreciated. I've resolved this. The issue is you have to

I have an listview in my xaml that i populate with items like this: List<DataLayer.Models.Dictionary> dicts = DataLayer.Manager.getDictionaries(); if (dicts != null) { foreach (DataLayer.Models.Dictionary dict in dicts) { this.itemListView.Items.Add(dict); } } My DataLayer.Models.Dictionary object have an isSelected property along with a Name and a SubName . Name and SubName works fine in the template but how can i go about getting the item to be selected and also updated when user clicks an item? Thanks! Edit: My xaml now looks like this, but the item is still not selected <ListView x:Name=

I'm attempting to bind the Visibility property of a TextBlock that's held within the ItemTemplate for a ListView to the IsSelected property of the TextBlock's parent ListViewItem. With this markup, the TextBlock is always visible. <ListView x:Name="ItemListView" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Accounts}" Margin="60,0,0,10" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"> <ListView.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="100"> </ColumnDefinition> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition> <ColumnDefinition Width="200"></ColumnDefinition> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

I want to download and save(cache) images locally in windows phone 8.1 universal app. so that if Phone is offline I can show users images(avatars) in ListView. What is the best way of saving images to local storage(should I use local storage or I use sqlite as i am using sqlite to store user's other information)? How can I save (download) images to local store? Thanks! There's a great extension by Q42 in their Q42.WinRT framework called ImageExtensions.cs You use it on normal Image objects in XAML, but instead of setting the Source of the Image, you set the ImageExtensions.CacheUri. <Image

I have a ListView and modified it's DataTemplate with 2 TextBlocks . The first TextBlock contains a Heading , the second a Sub-Heading . I style the 2 TextBlocks with different colours. Here's an example of the ListViewItem in Normal view. Here's an example of the ListViewItem in Selected view. So my question is how do I change the Foreground colours of the TextBlocks in Selected views? Hoping to do this in the xaml. I've tried setting different brushes, which work for items that haven't explicitly been styled. Not sure how to handle this scenario. You can use visual states. <ListView>

It appears that filtering an ObservableCollection with CollectionViewSource is not possible in WinRT : See here! I can filter using LINQ , but how do I get the UI to update if changes that affect the filtered data are made? I ended up writing my own class to achieve the desired effect: public class ObservableCollectionView<T> : ObservableCollection<T> { private ObservableCollection<T> _view; private Predicate<T> _filter; public ObservableCollectionView(IComparer<T> comparer) : base(comparer) { } public ObservableCollectionView(IComparer<T> comparer, IEnumerable<T> collection) : base(comparer,
