I am using the MS Expression Blend 4 for Windows Phone free version from Windoes phone SKD7.1. I serach the web to learn how to use this software. However, I always get the MS Expression Blend project or example that MS Expression Blend 4 for Windows Phone cannot support it. Would someone know the example or tutorial for MS Expression Blend 4 for Windows Phone only. Currently, I would like to create a tempalte for press status for button. Thanks in advance.
Just go through the link given below:

How do i make data visualization application in windows store and windowsphone8 app without using paid features like telerik. Also suggest paid ones if any.
In Windows Store App, You can use Windows 8 Toolkit - Charts and More in CodePlex. There are Pie chart/ Line chart/Column chart and so on.
In Windows Phone App, You can use the same solution with Silverlight. Read This sample please.Here is Silverlight Toolkit in CodePlex.
I am trying to write a Windows Phone 8 SDK-based application. I keep seeing mention of a ProgressRing control but I don't see it in the Toolbox or in the xaml designer.
How do I use this?
ProgressRing is part of the Win8 UI controls, not WP8. In WP8 you should use SystemTray.ProgressIndicator instead which is part of the windows phone UI shell. See here and here for samples.
See below blog link for simple copy&paste code to exactly replicate the Windows ProgressRing (uses the actual style code). Works perfectly, just added it to my WP8 project:

There is more info about adapting it to WP8 in the answer to this question:
How to Use ProgressRing in Windows Phone 8
Download this app for your phone to see it in action.
ProgressRing is not available for Windows Phone 7 or 8, you have to use ProgressBar or rather the PerformanceProgressBar:

Is it possible to create a live tile inside our windows phone 7 application? I am asking the similar functionality as in AppHub app "...i'm a WP7!".
Please provide me input, how i can achieve this functionality?
Check out the HubTile control from the Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone over at codeplex.
Just be careful that it looks good and makes sense in your app - it's a very dynamic control and you can't see the Title of the control all the time.
Does anybody know how to access the Xbox Live Avatar from within an XNA based Windows Phone 7 application?
Examples I have found seem to use a SignedInGamer.Avatar property, but this is not accessible from Windows Phone 7.
Is there another way or is this not possible in the first place?
as a side note, I'm using the recent Mango beta 7.1 SDK
Thanks!
It's not available in code unless you have the elevated privileges of access to XBox live.
You can, however get an image of your avatar from the web. try:
http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/XXXXXXX/avatar-body.png
where xxxxx is the XBox account name. e.g. http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/kris/avatar-body.png
My understanding is they are only available to partners. See this post for more information:

However, it looks like you can demo them, here's a quick tutorial on using them:

according to this article http://electricbeach.org/?p=653 and many others it's trivial to make a layout path.
Well I've downloaded phone 7 developer kit but when I try to convert a shape (es. circle) to layout path is impossible because command is not active.
Also pathlistbox don't exist in my blend version... you know why?
You can only use the PathListBox in Silverlight 4 onwards, which is available on the Mango build of Windows Phone 7. You will need to download and install the Developer Tools for Windows Phone Mango.
