Does anyone know how to Ink in XAML? I have done loads of research, and I am new to the language, but I have no idea as of how to do this. I have not found anything on inking in XAML. Any info ranging from fundamentals of the API to basic XAML starting places will help. Thanks!
You might want to have a look at the official samples.

Guys I am working on a project in which i want to use some graphs. is there any library to make ECG graphs in windows mobile 8.1 application and WPF Application?? I searched on google but i didnt get any help :(
Try too look into Line Chart (LineSeries) from:
WinRTXamlToolkit.Controls.DataVisualization
For me, it's the best free library for drawing graphs in XAML. Also I think this article with examples will be useful for you Using graphs and charts in windows store apps.
I am working on a Windows Phone 8 app, and have a question about UI design. Please take a look at the image below:
What I am trying to add to my app is something like the above UI under "recent" tab. That is, some kind of live tile style thing with-in the app.
If anyone has experience about how to build such kind of in-app tiles, please share some idea or code sample.
Thank you
The Windows Phone Toolkit provides a Windows Phone HubTile control:
Here is a tutorial on the Nokia Wiki that explains how to use it.
Use HubTile control from Windows Phone Toolkit library.
There are couple tutorials about that control available, e.g.

I come from two distinct backgrounds: I have much experience with WPF/XAML/C# app development and equal experience with C++/DirectX development. I hear about the ability to use DirectX and XAML together and I get all excited, but now I have hit this wall.
I'm trying to use the SwapChainBackgroundPanel in a WPF application. But I'm trying to use C# as the underlying language. I keep running into issues where, regardless of the type of C# project I create (PCL, WPF, Windows Store) none of these types are defined [namely I've been looking for SwapChainBackgroundPanel and some other DX stuff like the device and etc.)
So my question is: how does this work in C#? I've seen the simple shooter example from the MSDN done in C++ and it makes sense; I get it. But I feel like I'm missing one of those "gotcha's" when trying to do it in C#.
Any advice, or maybe a link to an example, or at best a little tutorial on setting up a C#/XAML/DX app would be amazing. Thanks everyone.
There is no SwapChainBackgroundPanel available to a WPF app (that is in PresentationCore). The closest you are going to get is the D3DImage class, but it's not exactly the same. See this discussion.
I don't think you can fully utilize the DirectX capabilities of a Windows 8 Store app (SwapChainBackgroundPanel) from C#. You're going to have to do your DirectX work in C++ as in the example you described. You can certainly combine the three (Xaml, C#, C++) as in this example, but I don't think a 100% C# app is possible.
The answer is wrong. It is possible to fully utilize C# throught a wrapper.
I did this myself with SharpDx which is actually one of the microsoft recommendations to use DirectX in C#.
As for the choice of XAML Library, Universal Windows App 10 or Windows Store App 8 is the way to go. Use a SwapChainPanel instead of SwapChainBackgroundPanel.
After some googling I saw that ContextMenuService is hiding out in the toolkit, and that is a seperate download.
So I went over to http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/78435 and dowloaded it. Expecting too much (and a little magic maybe) I still cant use <toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu> tag :-(.
What do I need to do (from the scratch, did I even donwload the right file?) to get this baby up and running, really want ContextMenus for my lists! :D
Cheers!
I would suggest downloading the Silvierlight for Windows Phone Toolkit Source & Samples - Nov 2011.zip and get the samples windows phone app working. That will show you some really good sample code .. then I'm sure you'll see what you are missing.
You need to download the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit not the one for regular Silverlight.
Also, I'll strongly recommend you use NuGet instead of manually downloading it.
Can't find any good examples with bing map application for windows phone 7. Do you know any?
Thx
have you looked at the sample maps application provided by Microsoft? its part of their code samples for WP7
