I am creating a Windows universal app but can't find out how to create a menu like you can find in the groove music app on windows phone 10.
You can create menus like these with the Splitview control. It was introduced with Windows 10. See Docs here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.splitview.aspx
Little hint: The Button on the upper left to show and hide the menu is not part of the Splitview control and has to be created manually.
You can find this Menu in several samples including mine on github:

Take a look at this awesome tutorial from Jerry Nixon:

Is there an appropriate control to create an Icons Menu in Windows Mobile 6 or 6.5?
I am creating my own user control, but its hard to belive that such an important feature is missing.
This is the user control that I am developing:
Thanks in advance.
The native menu does not support icons or graphics, it always was text only.
You may have to mimic the native menu behavior and show your app in full screen to disable the standard menu bar.
I am New To windows 8 App Development. I am creating one Windows Tablet Application in Visual studio express 2012 for windows 8. Is it possible to run this app to tablet because i am developing application in visual studio 2012 for windows 8???
I want to add Tab Control to my app like Windows Phone 7 & 8 supports pivot control like i have attached one image here. i want to add same controls in my app as image shown.
one tab control and into each tab there is another tab control. how can i add it to my app?? please help me
I'd recommend switching to Visual Studio Express 2013. 2012 should work for 8.0 though. There is no tab control in WinRT XAML. There is a grouped GridView or Hub control that serves similar purposes though. If you'd rather go with the more classic Zune Software-like tabbed interface - you should put a bunch of restyled RadioButtons in a horizontally oriented StackPanel like here and a few overlaid Grids underneath, then switch visibility of these panels based on the checked RadioButton.
I've seen several post regarding custom 'task' being added to WPF applications but I haven't found a compatible way to do this in Windows Forms.
Note: I'm not referring to the system notification tray.
For example, if you right click Google Chrome icon in the Windows 7 Taskbar you'll see a menu like this:
I want to do the same thing in a C# Windows Forms Application. Is it possible or does it have to be in WPF?
I just came late to the party. There is a feature called 'Jumplists' which would helps you to add a new taskbar feature on right clicking the application icon: Go through the tutorial

I am aware of app bar icons and menu items in Windows phone. What I want it is an app bar similar to phone's default windows phone store where it shows up "try", "buy" and share in menu item... How can I achieve this? I looked into documentation of ApplicationBar, but it didn't help.
I want normal buttons to be inside application bar.. If that is not possible in appbar how can I mock something similar to the one which shows up in windows phone store..
Not sure that it is possible
Though, you may try to take a look at some custom appbars. For example, Cimbalino appbar is made as behavior (so it supports binding) - probably, you'd be able to set button's style either.
How can one invoke Windows 8 charmbar from a wpf application.
I know this can be done by simulating the key stroke such as win + c from application but the problem is the the same combination is used to hide the charmbar.
I have a wpf application that has a button named show charmbar but the problem is if the same button is clicked when already the charmbar is open it acts as a guide charmbar .
Or else could some body guide me on how tho get the visibility of charmbar. Such as at a given moment is the charmbar visible or not.
The truth is a charmbar cannot be opened programatically in metro app development
for metro you can access various charms menu like settings share.
Here's a full sample for that
metro charms
But for c# wpf app
Heres a SO answer and I guess it works :)
open charms c#
take a look. :)
