From:
Pete Brown follows up his pInvoke post enumerating MIDI devices with this one enumerating printers via pInvoke
Derik Whittaker has Part 2 of his series on hooking your Metro app up to the system search.. this time enabling real time search integration
Morten Nielsen has Part 4 of his WinRT/Silverlight series up and this time is talking about the Dispatcher and how it has changed going to WinRT
Sumit Dutta's Part 14 in his WP7 series is about word suggestion while typing in a TextBox... short description and links to MSDN
Asim Sajjad continues with his tutorials... this one on removing that nasty extra column from a DataGrid
Ollie Riches's latest post is about geo-location and some interesting information he and XAMLNinja found out using the GeoCoordinateWatcher class on the WP7 platform. This code is in WP7Contrib as LocationService.
If you happened to install VS2011 separately from the Windows 8 install, you may get a nasty error when building Metro apps... Kunal Chowdhury provides insight into that and also a solution
How about a definitive pInvoke example... Alexandra Rusina... you probably should make this post into a pdf and keep it handy if you're going to be doing any pInvoke.
Mohamed Mosallem takes a different attack on Silverlight 5 Beta pInvoke by calling the Kinect SDK via the Coding4Fun Kinect Toolkit... that should open some possibilities
Stephen Forte details his 2nd day on the slate and first day building a Metro app... pretty simple, eh?
Stay in the 'Light!
