I am developing windows phone application and got stuck in a problem where I need use ExpanderView (using Telerik or phonetoolkit) but at Multiple levels (0-5), much like TreeView.
Please share any tutorial if anybody got one.
I just spent many hours in playing with this control but no luck.
Zauk
Have you checked the Telerik Examples app in the store? I belive there is an example like the scenario you want.
You can download sample code provided by Codplex for windows phone-8 and see Expanderview it's very clear and easy to use.

Im trying to implement a pdf viewer for Win 8.1 app using https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dn532207.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.
I need search text feature using this. I know Reader for Windows 8 does it, but i dont know how.
Can anyone help me please!
Thx!
check this great blog post with a summary of available components for WinRT.

You might check each component vendor specs as some have been enhanced since the time the article was written (ex : DevExpress PDF component for UWP supports search) BuiltIn PDF component purpose is to render documents, not manipulate. You can contact the dev team for feature requests.

The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is now available. It is known that Silverlight will not run in metrostylemode, but with legacy/desktopmode it is working?
Anything unusual to keep in mind?
Are you able to access Silverlight applications?
(sorry for my bad english)
I have an medium sized SL5 LOB RIA Services app that runs OOB and it is working fine on windows 8 CP. The only thing that did not worked as I expected is that the on-screen keyboard do not show when I enter a text field. probably there is a way to p/invoke this but it would be nice if this happens by default.
I don't think there was anything new posted to that effect (but then the story was already explained in Dev Preview). It basically works the way you describe in Beta.
Apparently you can add a meta tag which causes the metro browser to prompt the user, but I have not yet tested.

I know that we can take screen shot of an App during runtime. In iOS we can use UIGraphicsBeginImageContext to get the screen shot. We can also do the same in Android.
But is it possible with Blackberry and Windows 7 Mobile OS?
A simple search for "blackberry screenshot" on stackoverflow returned this pretty straightforward answer:
Taking screenshot of the current screen in BlackBerry
And a search for "windows-phone screenshot" yields this:
Windows Phone 7 - Capture Screen
If what you need is for capture a screenshot of your own Windows Phone app, then this post from Jeff Wilcox will come in handy!
It looks like there is a function for that in Display. Check out the SDK reference.
There are a couple of Homebrew tools you can use to take screenshots on WP7 here and here however you wont be able to use these programatically. You can also something along the lines of Mark Artega or Jeff Wilcox
There is no Silverlight VisualBrush support for WP7 and no global Screenshot functionality on WP7 Mango, but writablebitmap.
There is a very usefull way by using default Microsoft Emulator integrated WP7 Screenshot Tool
or use third party methods.
If you are familar with XNA Framework, there you can access to the screen. Using Multithreading, you can do your screenshots that way. If never used the last app because I feel fine using Microsofts Emulator Screenshot button to save my png images.
After you can stitch it together using different ways.
Does windows phone 7 have a similar component likes UITableview in iPhone?
I am trying to find an api mapping published by Microsoft, but to no avail.
I welcome any comments.
Your best bet would be to bind the data to a ListBox.
Here is an example.
You may be interrested in http://windowsphone.interoperabilitybridges.com/
It includes details on getting up to speed on Windows Phone 7 development for people familliar with developing for other platforms. (Including iOS.)
Tim is correct that you will most likely end up using a ListBox, but here is a bit of a longer answer:
I believe you are referring to the iOS to Windows Phone API mapping tool, which helps map common iOS APIs to their Windows Phone equivalents. Unfortunately in this case it will not provide a direct answer to your question, as iOS and Windows Phone take different approaches to the UI layer:
Apple enforces a strict MVC pattern on each of its views. In fact, they provide a set of base view controller classes which already support much of the behaviors you see in typical iPhone applications. The most common of these include UITableViewController, UINavigationViewController, UITabBarController and the standard UIViewController.
Windows phone 7 does not require you to use an MVC pattern, and therefore does not include the standard views that are available in iOS. Instead it is left up to you to choose and implement whatever UI pattern that you choose. Many choose the MVVM Pattern, but even then there are multiple toolkits you can use (This one seems pretty popular).
To start, with most users will just use the graphical designer built into Visual Studio to drag and drop controls onto each page of their application. If you want to learn more I recommend watching the Windows Phone 7 Development for Absolute Beginners series or 31 days of Windows Phone 7 series. Most Silverlight XAML layout and APIs techniques are available in Windows Phone, so 31 days of Silverlight may also help.
I have been looking at nice, 3 part series about LoopingSelectors by Win phone Geek and unfortunately there is a missing source link for the first part on that website.
Can someone offer to please mail it to me or paste it in here, because I don't want to reinvent it? I would apppreciate it. Thanks.
Code for other demos for LoopingSelectors would be fine too.
The LongListSelector is part of the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit. You can download the Source & Samples for the November 2010 release, or download the latest version, which includes fixes for various controls to enable applications to pass certification (there were issues with Back key press handling).
