Iconic Tile image from VisualElement

[Tiziano]

Good morning,
i need to update an IconicTile with a VisualElement.
In the LiveTileHelper I can use RadExtendedTileData to pass an UIElement, but I can't use it in IconicTile.

Can you help me?
Thanks

Hi Tiziano,

Thank you for contacting us.

We have plans for extending the LiveTileHelper so that it can be used with IconicTiles. This feature will be part of our Q1 2013 release which is expected in February.

Thanks,
and just found this link for another suggestion:

Hello Tiziano,

The extension of LiveTileHelper that we are planning will affect only the Windows Phone 8 version of our controls. However, you can try to use this approach if you'd like such a tile in a WP7 application. 

Thanks for sharing this article here.
