Dave Campbell has a beginner Metro App up detailing some mouse/keyboard features of running Metro in a VHD, and a couple lessons learned while building a basic app
Guess I'm in good company on this one... Laurent Bugnion has a quick tip up on choosing the correct INotifiyPropertyChanged in WinRT... you can easily grab the wrong one...
Pete Brown has an excerpt from his Silverlight 5 book up talking about talking to an accelerometer with your Silverlight... including info on where to get your very own sensor board, oh and this uses the Native Extensions (NESL)... which Pete also has a link to and instructions for
Asim Sajjad has a nice post up describing how to use the PagedCollectionView Filter property and a demo app you can download.
Daniel Egan has some code snippets up that you may be interested in if you're a phone dev... getting device stats like PowerSource, Manufacturer, Name, etc... all good to know things
Kunal Chowdhury previously talked about the frame rate counter in the WP7 Emulator... but what if it's not showing up for you... well, that's the subject of this post
New MVP Joost van Shaik (Congratulations by the way! ) is revisiting the use of a standard About Page for WP7 apps with this post with code containing multiple UserControls that you can use to get the same user experience in your app.
Jeff Wilcox has a post up about those secondary tiles... and using remote URIs.... your tile may only be present for the current device's uptime... and the OS seems to believe it's still there!... read on for the work-around and more info
Cristian Merighi blogged about the Silverlight Toolkit's DataForm... and the fact that it doesn't just properly render a PasswordBox... but he's come to the rescue with code to take care of it for us
Avi Pilosof discusses a 'known limitation of the current dev drop', and ha created a wrappper for the ObservableCollection that will allow us all to continue working away until the dev drops catch up
Stay in the 'Light!
