xna wp7- photoChooser crop - windows-phone-7

hey when i use the pixelHeight/Width property ing photoChooser
a. only the height is adjusted
b. the photoChooserTask.Completed event doesn't work.
does anyone have some experience with it and know the answers?
thanks

In the emulator, the PhotoChooserTask crop is known to fail in the older version of the SDK (pre-NoDo) and the Completed event will never be triggered. On the phone, however, it works correctly.
Showing your code will also help, since you might be missing something obvious.

It turned out the graphics drivers were not setup correctly. Now that I have reset the settings, everything works just fine and the white lines have disappeared from everywhere.

Xamarin Image tap gestures are not always recognised

so we are developing an app on cross-platform Xamarin. We are now testing it on Android on a few real devices, and we noticed that wherever we have an image with a Tap Gesture Recognizer the tap does not always work.
We tried increasing the section by increasing the image's size and decreasing the used part of the images, but we still have this issue. Its like some times it just doesn't work, even if you did tap on the image.
How can we fix this?
Edit
We updated to the last pre-release of Xamarin.Forms (2.5.0.121934) and it seems to be fixed. We are going to continue running tests to confirm.
Put a hotspot over it or behind it setting image's input to transparent. Hotspot can be whatever works best for you, transparent boxview, contentview etc. It's sometimes better to use hotspots as you can allow users to tap a bit around the image etc.

Messages rendered halfway off screen?

I'm using the JSQ messages view controller as the detail portion of a master/detail configuration. When I rotate my iPad, the right side of the messages are rendered off the screen. When I call reloadData() the issue goes away.
Is this a known issue? Is it due to something I'm doing incorrectly or should I just call reloadData() and ignore the issue?
Here is a screen shot:
I found an existing issue for this in the bug tracker. There is a solution attached to the issue, but the issue is still open.
https://github.com/jessesquires/JSQMessagesViewController/issues/1042
I don't know if it is a known issue but also I don't think this is a very common use case for most users. I don't think I have ever tested or attempted to run this in a master/detail configuration. The only other thing that I would think to try would be setting a contentInset but truthfully if you have found a solution I wouldn't worry about it too much. I do wonder tho if you rotate your iPad what happens then?
Thanks for sharing and if you find any other more permeant solutions the project is always open for more contributors. 🖖🏽

How to trigger the On-Screen-Keyboard in Windows 7 by clicking on an input?

Well, I'd like to show up the On-Screen-Keyboard when the user clicks onto any control which needs a text-input. System-wide.
The reason: I am using a touchscreen for some projects I've been working on and needed to open the On-Screen-Keyboard manually every time me or someone else had to type something.
Are there any possibilities, capturing a system-wide event for that? Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!
I am currently looking into a solution like this. It's been a feature well implemented on mobile platforms, but nothing on the desktop! Hopefully something will come along as a result of the Touch Centric strategy for Windows 8.
The closest, but most expensive thing I found is M T Soft TS Keyboard http://www.imgpresents.com/mtsts/mtsts.htm?babelfish=translate

Expression blend slideshow?

I'm specificaally a photoshop web designer and have a limited knowledge of xaml.
I'm trying to create a slideshow effect with images an text within it, similar to http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Image-slider-control-in-Silverlight-1.1.aspx
Does anyone know how I would create this by just using Expression Blend. I would prefer not to dip into any code! Would be great if there is some sort of behavior for this?
I'm currently using the states and storyboard. The animation works in sketch preview, but I can't get the buttons to work for the behavior gotonextstate.
Any ideas?
Thanks Judi
