I wanted to ask what is the best way to show a group of thumbnails in wp7 app? Should I use stacks or lists or should i bind them to the content panel grid directly. I wanted to show 2 columns of thumbnails.
I feel you, you should use the
Wrappanel
embedded in listbox's itemtemplate.
Which gives the View like Picture hub in WP7.
For more information on how to create use this link
Check for Wp7 Image listing.

I am developing an application similar to one-note in windows phone. I wonder what control they use for storing image,text and audio files.
I tried with RichTextBox but I found that RichTextbox is readonly for windows phone
Please suggest an approch to achieve this functionality
Thanks in advance.
For those who are not aware of One-note app in windows it holds text,images and audio
files like a Flow document.
Your best bet would be to use a <Canvas>
MSDN Canvas
It can hold any other XAML object and they can quickly and easily be positioned on the canvas in both XAML and back end code
That said, you are going to have to do some custom coding to create the UI elements dynamically.
This shouldn't be to hard.
If it were me I would create an application bar and in the sub menu I would create all of the UI elements you're allowing the person to create. When they select a UIElement it adds it to the canvas and you allow it to be draggable and editable.
I have a screen in my application which has GPS details. Now I am thinking I will add a map to this page. So I want to display this map when user swipes from left to right .I feel panorama app will be good for this. Any idea how do I convert this to panorama app ?
Create a new project and select the Panorama Template.
Then add the UI code of your old app, add as the Panorama item of new project. You can any no of Panorama items. Check this Panorama Control link
I want to use the WP7 toolkit datepicker and have my own custom background on the picker page. There are several examples that show the use of a custom page to replace the existing selection mechanism e.g. http://windowsphonegeek.com/articles/wp7-datepicker-and-timepicker-in-depth--api-and-customization
But I don't want to do that - I simply want the picker page to have a different background (than the themed white or black) Can I do this easily. Or do I have to download the toolkit code and include that in my solution and adjust that?
In order to do that you will have to create a copy of the DatePickerPage.xaml file from the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit in your application, change it to meet your requirements, and then on your DatePicker control set the PickerPageUri proprety to the new DatePickerPage.xaml
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.
