Windows 8–Secondary Tiles
Continuing my series based on the presentations I’m giving on Europe, today I return to Tiles to look at creating Secondary tiles.

Creating A Live Tile In Windows 8
Continuing my series of Blog posts that distill the presentations I’m giving this month in Europe and the UK, today I’ll take a look at creating a Live Tile. Live tiles tell the user that something interesting is happening in your application, or that you have new information for them. Live tiles are an essential and exciting part of Windows 8 and creating a Live tile is not very difficult. In fact, creating a simple Life tile is, well, simple. To start, create a new blank application and name it LiveTile. The very first thing to do is to add the NotificationsExtensions project...September 24, 2012 -
