how to set ColorPickerSlider element, ColorChannel Property in UWP?

I Don't know,how to set colorChannel property of ColorPickerSlider dynamically in c#.I need ColorPickerSlider like the picture i added,based on color choosen from colorSpectrum.I don't Want to use ColorPicker Element.I need this as Separate Component.
ColorSpectrum ColorSpectrum = new ColorSpectrum();
ColorPickerSlider ColorPickerSlider = new ColorPickerSlider();
ColorPickerSlider.ColorChannel=???????;

In terms of style, we can consider a combined approach:
Rectangle + ColorPickerSlider
Use Rectangle as the background and ColorPickerSlider as the actual function slider.
<Grid Width="300" Height="40">
<Rectangle Height="15" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="300" x:Name="BackgroundRect"/>
<ColorPickerSlider ColorChannel="Hue" Style="{StaticResource ColorPickerSliderStyle}"/>
</Grid>
Modify Rectangle background color
var stopCollection = new GradientStopCollection();
stopCollection.Add(new GradientStop() { Color = Colors.Black, Offset=0 });
stopCollection.Add(new GradientStop() { Color = Colors.Purple, Offset=1 });
var brush = new LinearGradientBrush(stopCollection,0);
BackgroundRect.Fill = brush;

Update
About calculating gradient color
We have two colors: black and purple:
Black (RGB) : 0 0 0
Purple (RGB): 128 0 128
Let ’s assume that the Thumb of ColorPickerSlider is in the middle, with a value of 50 (the maximum value of Slider is 100)
So we can get the middle color as (RGB) 64 0 64

How to change selected Flyoutitem background color

How do I change color of a selected FlyOutItem ? Let's say I want it to be blue instead of gray in the screenshot below.
I downloaded a few sample projects like Gastropods and went through all FlyOutItem styling properties ( it seems ) but can't figure it out.

Solution :
You can add a style of Item .
In Shell.Resource
<Style x:Key="FloutItemStyle" TargetType="Grid">
<Setter Property="VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups">
<VisualStateGroupList>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="Selected">
<VisualState.Setters>
<Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="Red"/>
</VisualState.Setters>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateGroupList>
</Setter>
</Style>
And use it in Shell.ItemTemplate
<Shell.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate >
<Grid Style="{StaticResource FloutItemStyle}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.2*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.8*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="{Binding FlyoutIcon}"
Margin="5"
HeightRequest="45" />
<Label Grid.Column="1"
Text="{Binding Title}"
FontAttributes="Italic"
VerticalTextAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</Shell.ItemTemplate>

Cannot get button working inside HubSection HeaderTemplate

I have a Hubsection with a Textblock and a button in HeaderTemplate. It works ok in Windows 8, but I've migrated the app to UWP and now I can not click the button.
<HubSection
Width="480"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Header="_XX"
IsHeaderInteractive="True">
<HubSection.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Width="392" Margin="0,-10,0,-10">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
FontSize="28"
Text="{Binding}" />
<AppBarButton
Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Command="{Binding ElementName=HubSection, Path=DataContext.MyCommand}">
<AppBarButton.Icon>
<FontIcon
FontFamily="{StaticResource IconsFontFamily}"
FontSize="26"
Glyph="" />
</AppBarButton.Icon>
</AppBarButton>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</HubSection.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
...
</DataTemplate>
Help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

The issue comes from the way the header is defined. The header is already a button and with your template, you are adding a button within a button.
One solution to solve this is to duplicate the Hub template and replace the Button control used to host the header by a ContentControl:

WPF Add new dependency property in Calendar

I need help in creating a new dependency property, functionality is the same as SelectedDates.
The logic works: using SelectedDates select days, pressing the top button "Set" to add a new property value from SelectedDates, set another color and write values ​​into a text document.
Also, it should be possible to read from a text document these dates. When you run the program set the date 05.13.2015, 05.14.2015, 05.15.2015 should already be highlighted.
I need to create a new dependency property with the help of which you can select a different color to highlight the date and write a text file. As the functionality is the same as SelectedDates.
(Sorry for my bad english)

Windows 8.1 - How to place a different element(like a TextBox) instead of the title string in SettingsFlyout

I have a Windows 8.1 application with a Settings Flyout.
I am trying to extend the SettingsFlyout so as to modify the top header part of it to consist of a TextBox instead of the title as shown below
As you can see in the above UI, there is no Title.
But looks like the Title property is taken by default in SettingsFlyout.
How do I override this?
I would be very glad if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in Advance.

You could change the style/template of the flyout, but you shouldn't do that. In case you really need to - this is the default one I extracted with Blend.
