Byte Array To BitmapImage Converter & IRandomAccessStream Implementation For Windows 8 Metro

published 429 days, 4 hours, 18 minutes ago posted by

jebarson007 434 days, 3 hours, 3 minutes ago

After writing the application for Windows Phone, I wanted to bring the same feature with Windows 8 Metro but unfortunately, metro didn’t support the same converter for the reason that BitmapImage can no more read from Stream but only from IRandomAccessStream. I was very much disappointed w... (more)

KMil 477 days, 22 hours, 2 minutes ago

The Microsoft’s Live SDK (or commonly referred to as Live Connect), provides a set of controls and APIs that enables applications to integrate single sign-on (SSO) functionality using Windows Live ID. You can also use it to access data in SkyDrive, Hotmail, and Windows Live Messenger. The library supports multiple platforms, including Windows Phone 7 Mango and Windows 8 Metro Style applications using either C#, Visual Basic or JavaScript. In this article, we will build our first metro style application... (more)

In preview version of Windows 8, there is no way to directly access to Relation Database (SQL Server, SQLCE) in Metro style application, we can use local storage instead. But all we know that, accessing XML take times and why we have to build from scratch when we have a lot of Local relational database out there, such as VistaDb, Sqlite, SqlCE. Fortunately, there one opensource library that will help us to access to sqlite called sqlite-winrt on Codeplex. Sqlite-winrt will help us to create and access sq... (more)

Lighting up your C# Metro apps by Enabling Search–Part 2

We will look at how we can enable real time search integration. What do I mean by Real Time Search integration? When building a Metro Application you have the ability to not only handle unprovoked search queries from the operating system, but you also have the ability to hook into the search screen (seen below) but you also have the ability listen to various events that the Search Panel offers.

Windows 8 : Metro’s Grid Application – what, how and when ?

jmix90 614 days, 17 hours, 49 minutes ago

Windows 8 is here and Visual Studio 2011 comes with it hand in hand. As you may already have read/seen/watch, there is a new set of applications coming named as ‘metro’. Visual Studio 2011 then comes with templates for different types of applications: basic Application, Grid Application and Split Application. Each one helps you create application for windows 8 with the metro style. In this post we are going to explore in details a first type of application template: the Grid Application. (more)

This blog post describes the implementation of a metro ’tilt’ effect for Windows Phone 7 which causes element to respond to user interactions by tilting in 3D So far in the “Metro In Motion” series I have covered fluid list animations, ‘peel’ animations and flying title. In this blog post I am looking at the ’tilt’ effect seen in native Windows Phone 7 applications where list items, tiles, check-boxes and other user interface element tilt slightly when the user presses them. This is a subtle 3D effect t... (more)

Metro In Motion Part #2 – ‘Peel’ Animations | Colin Eberhardt's Adventures in WPF

FantasticMrFish 786 days, 4 hours, 30 minutes ago

This blog post is part #2 of my Metro In Motion series. In this post I demonstrate how to implement the animated ‘peel’ effect seen when native Windows Phone 7 applications exit. In my previous blog post I discussed how the Metro Design Language that heavily influences the Windows Phone 7 style is not just about static graphics, it is also about fluid transitions. In that post I demonstrated a technique for making items within lists slide gracefully as the user moves between pivot pages. The post was ... (more)

This blog post presents an attached behaviour that gracefully slides the contents of a list into view when used in conjunction with a Pivot control, emulating the Windows Phone 7 email application. The Windows Phone 7 user interface is based on the Metro Design Language, which favours clear typography, content over chrome and simplicity. If you want to see practical applications of the Metro approach to design, I would highly recommend visiting Scott Barnes’ blog over at riagenic. Silverlight for Wi... (more)

I just got back from speaking/attending the Norwegian Developers Conference in Oslo, Norway. It was a great time and a well run conference. Like many other conferences I found myself looking for two things I wanted on my mobile: the schedule and a map/guide for the city (I’ve never been to Oslo). You see every time I take a trip, here’s what I do: Search for an app that contains the schedule (or offline version). Ideally allows me to build my schedule and gets updates for changes Find the metro/map... (more)
