Hi,

My recent WACK tests get the following error message: The supported APIs test detected the following errors:

The same application package was tested successfully on one machine while on another machine, it fails with the above error message. How could SQLite extension become unsupported APIs? Could this be an issue with the WACK tool itself?

Thanks,

Hi

I have just published my first app “MyDailyHandicap” to the Store in Windows8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 using VS Express 2013.

1) Is it possible to develop apps using VS Express 2013 for Windows in both 8.1 and 8.0 and lower versions.

2) If not; how can I develop apps for the Store in lower versions of Windows [both Phone and Windows].

Thanks

Hi experts,

I have developed an App and submitted to the app store. My app passed all Windows Certification kit tests but failed certification for Content Compliance with an error code 0xc000027b. Though not an expert I tried to debug the information from the Crash Dump and I couldn't relate the crash to any of the source code. But I saw that it was an unhandled exception and I wrapped all my Homepage functions with the hope to catch the exception. I couldnt catch it on any PC or Surface. I handled all the exceptions and resubmitted it but it failed again on the same error and I am totally lost now. I would appreciate any help on how to go from here. The crash dump report is stored at :

Hi ,

I am new in MVVM. I want to add control in in view from viem model at Run time. If i am using without mvvm then in code behind I can write

 public BlankPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            addcontrol();

        }

        public void addcontrol()
        {
            TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();
            tb.Text = "Hello..!!";
            tb.FontSize = 25;
            tb.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;
            tb.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
            LayoutRoot.Children.Add(tb);

        }

then how can I write this thing from view-model so TextBlock can be added in view.

Thank You.

I am building a Windows 8.1 app, using C#/XAML, and have many images in the screen, all different shapes, partially transparent. They all handle the tapped() and manipulation events.

When the user touches the images, the touch is detected on the topmost element, even if the user touches the transparent part of the image. I don't want that to happen. I would like the touch event to 'pass-through' an image if the user is touching the transparent part, and then the image below catches the event.

I have not been able to do that.

1) I've looked at this post, but the code does not compile:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4800597/wpf-detect-image-click-only-on-non-transparent-portion

2) I've tried detecting in the tapped() function if the user is touching transparent part of the image, and then set e.Handled=false, but then there is no other image behind it that gets any tapped() calls.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hi all!

I am developing an Windows 8.1 app, which interacts with Windows filesystem and all folders are correctly added to FutureAccessList.

I am copying a StorageFile to some folder like this:

await file.CopyAsync(destinationFolder, newFileName, NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);

Then I am trying to move exactly the same file with exactly the same name into exactly the same folder (after a while and in another method) like this:

await file.MoveAsync(destinationFolder, newFileName, NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

I got this error faultException1. i got no idea what wrong with it.

Hello everyone, I'm new in windows development. I want to sell design elements and themes in windows store but can't find a way to store files in windows app. Short of what I'm seeking - I want that people could download windows store app, preview files in it and save them to local machine. 

Maybe there is some samples?

Thank you!

Calling this method on page load event

hi,

I want to move Downloaded Video from Shared/Transfer to Phone Video.

Dear Community members can you please tell me if there is any way to pass the query string between two pages using XAML when i press a button.. i know to do this using Click Event in my back End C# File.. but i want to know that is it possible by using only XAML of a button?

 Here is my code which im using to navigate to other page , its working properly but im unable to send query string through this..

<Button Content="Button" FontFamily="Portable User Interface" Foreground="IndianRed"><i:Interaction.Triggers><i:EventTrigger EventName="Click"><ec:NavigateToPageAction TargetPage="/Page2.xaml"/></i:EventTrigger></i:Interaction.Triggers></Button>

here is my page2 method that is expecting  query string from page1

protected override void OnNavigatedTo(System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnNavigatedTo(e);

            string msg = "";

            if (NavigationContext.QueryString.TryGetValue("msg", out msg))
            {
                MessageBox.Show(msg);

            }

Please note that i want to do this using XAML code of my Button only, not in backend C# event of that Button

Hi, I am using RenderTargetBitmap to capture a snapshot of a UIElement in WinRT and save the image file, but the RenderTargetBitmap.RenderAsync() keeps throwing ArgumentException. Below is the code snipet:

            RenderTargetBitmap renderTargetBitmap = new RenderTargetBitmap();
            await renderTargetBitmap.RenderAsync(this.RootGrid);

in which, RootGrid is the root Grid of current page. The Grid cantais three ListViews and some other stuff. The error message is:

A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Value does not fall within the expected range.

I've done lots of search, but can't find one workaround.

Any idea would be appreciated!

I have downloaded this sample app and am getting the below exception.  I have tried with multiple types of monitors.  I also had a colleague download and run the sample, and he also received the same exception; so to validate on another Win8.1 system.  What may be causing this?

I am trying to implement pull to refresh behaviour similiar to how it has been implemented in the Windows Phone Facebook app.

I am able to get triggering and animation behaviour using manipulation deltas but I cannot see how to have the ListView hide the refresh symbol above the top element.

What is the recommended way to achieve this?
