I want to create a small app for Windows Phone, and it will based on calendar, so people can input dates etc. But I can't find control which provides me calendar month view. I only saw that there is DatePicker, but that is not exactly what I'm looking for.
Is there control like that for Windows Phone?
Thanks,
Ned
Looks like this might be a good calendar control for your needs: https://wpcontrols.codeplex.com/
Maybe more sophisticated but not for free (99$): Telerik's Controls
http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-phone/overview/all-controls.aspx
But'll get a lot of controls all out of a single source ;)

I'm searching how to create the flip effect on a wp8 application like the Flipboard style : www.flipboard.com.
could you help me how to proceed to create this effect?
Thanks.
I would recomment using Telerik's SlideView control. You can set a Flip transition. You can download the Telerik sample application and try it out. The phone controls are only $99. Even better is to use Nokia Developer Offers. You get Telerik's phone controls, as well as Infragistics controls, a DevCenter account and BugSense tracking for $99. I know it's not free, but how much is your time worth creating all the controls you get from this?
NOTE: I am not affiliated with any of the above companies.
Look here: How to Perform a Card Flip Animation
I have told how to make FlipAnimation, un projections menu there are also other effects that affect XYZ axes - your effect is quite simple.
But if you wan't a whole page transition then i think you should NOT use pages, but use different Views on one page.
Im currently using the available toolkit for windows phone. By using the time picker, I want to change it to military time. But I dont know to customize it.
So I came up with creating my own time picker by using the LoopingSelector, but I dont know how will I implement it along with appbar, since this was only a popup.
What is the strategic way to recreate this timepicker along with appbar?
Given that the underlying type is still the same (DateTime), then I think that rather than creating a new TimePicker, you could just implement a custom picker page as described in WP7 DatePicker and TimePicker in depth | API and Customization on WindowsPhoneGeek.com. Richard Griffin also has a post that covers the same topic for DatePicker.
I want to make an app that shows pictures. But I want to be able to zoom in and out with gestures. I fixed this by including a toolkit into my project. But my actual question is, can I use or is there a control that's already created for me to show pictures like the picture library of the WP7 phone itself. I thought there wasn't but the Facebook app has a similar way of showing the pictures. Did Facebook rewrite the whole thing or is there a control somewhere that someone made?
The SlideView control in Telerik's RadControls for Windows Phone sounds like what you're looking for.
Have you tried a MultiScaleImage control? It's designed to work with multiple layers, but if you only specify one layer, it might suit what you're trying to do.
I'm developing a windows phone 7 application.
I'm trying to understand how I'm supposed to filter contacts by letters. I want to display the keyboard to the user and show all the contacts. If the user pushes "a" everyone with an a in the name should be shown.
Please tell me this is possible. I'm getting more and more frustrated with this API..
It might be easier if you actually show us some code to show where you've got to so far.
It sounds like what you need is the AutoCompleteBox from the Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone 7. There's a good post on WindowsPhoneGeek.com: AutoCompleteBox for WP7 in depth, which should show you how to use this control.
I'd like to implement a date picker using a calendar. Before I go ahead and try to build one, is there something that does this already?
I've looked at the date picker in Interface Builder and it's pretty much just a text field as far as I can tell. And looking (albeit quickly) through the developer docs, it seems there's plenty of date related functionality available, but not very much in the way of an interface. So If I do go ahead and build my own, what's the best line of attack
I've already built what i need in HTML/CSS and Javascript with jQuery for a website I'm working on, so my initial thought was that I could use a web view and display that, assuming there's some way to detect events happening inside a web view. But this feels a bit cheap to me. What would be the recommended route?
Use NSDatePicker. You can change it to be a Calendar or Clock, or both, using the Inspector:
