I am trying to make an app that can enable/disable the auto rotate feature on certain apps.
I have no idea if it's even possible to tell my app to access the users "App Drawer" to select certain apps. It's hard to explain but the best example that i can think of makes sense if you have used Tasker. In Tasker, when you start a new profile it brings up "Application" "Day" "Event" etc. and when you select "Application" a big grid menu pops up with all of the Apps that are in the users phone and it's titled "App Selection" I want to use something exactly like this but have no idea about how to go about it. Any advice would be appreciated or a link to any video that might help. Thank you very much for reading this!
I can answer part of your question.
1. To get the list of installed application you can use PackageManager
2. You can then create a view in which you put them in a gridview of some sort. (Using Packagemanager you can get its icon, package name etc)

I created some functions in Azure Portal and for some of them I choose not to show them on Dashboard. Others were removed from Dashboard later at some point.
Now I'd like to show them again on Dashboard, but I cannot seem to find a way to do that. For how much simple that must be, I'm not able to find it.
How do you achieve that? TA
There is a "PIN" icon to the far right of every blade, next to the X button.
That should act as a way to Pin something to your Dashboard.
However, I've found that, depending on the blade, you can get a different icons / different information with your three button technique vs this "PIN" technique.
It seems I just found a way, totally by chance.
From left panel menu, All resources. In resource list showing up there, each item has a three-dots button on the left side, holding the command to add that resource to Dashboard.

I have implemented a search mechanism in my app. The user fill a textbox and then click on a button. is there a way to use the nice results view of Microsoft? i'm talking about the view you can see in the image attached.
I am giving you few resources, please check it out and let us know if you face any problem.

That's just a page and layout that someone created for that given app... given the Contoso branding it's some sample, though I don't immediately recognize it. I assume you saw the image, but don't have the source to it?
In Visual Studio, within an existing app you can use the Add>New Item dialog and select Search Contract to include a template page (with grid, filter combo box, etc.) to get you jumpstarted.
In the Windows 8 Camp Training kit, there is a fairly polished sample - Contoso Cookbook - that also includes a filtered search page, so that may be helpful as a start too.
I had asp.net back ground and now developing apps for Iphone. I have been wondering is there some thing master view or theme for app as we had master pages for website designing in asp dotnet which make the whole website design generic
thanks
No you really don't have anything similar. You do get two great application templates, the Tab based view or the Navigation based. In the navigation controller certain things follow each view like the style of the navigation bar but that is it.
If you want to use something like PhoneGap and drop that into XCode then use a web based UI framework like jqTouch, then you can have a template :) but that is a completely different application model.
Master View? I'm not sure what you mean by this. You have a Window (UIWindow) that you add Views to (UIView). You only have one window, but are free to have as many Views as you like.
So it depends what you want to add, for example i have a banner that i want at the tope of evert screen. I added the ImageView to the window and scaled the Views so they left the top of the window showing.
If you wanted to add some default behaviour to your Views and or add an image view to every view. You could simply subclass UIViewController and go from there?
If you give a touch more detail about what you want to achieve I'll gladly go into more detail.
I have a link called Create Reimbursemtn in the Quick Launch Menu. I dont want this link visible to certain group of users.
I am using Sharepoint 2010. I don't have any audience settings in the Navigation settins. Am i missing something? Can this be done out of box or programmatically ? Please let me know how can I achieve this requirement. Its urgent.
Thanks.
You need to setup User Profile Service application for the Audience feature to be visible.
I would like to make a drop down on a UI component for my users to select the Headnode/Brokernode that they want to submit their job to. I would like to populate this dropdown with the heads/brokers on the network.
Taking this further it would also be good to provide some feedback as to what SOA services are available on the selected node.
Any ideas or suggestions for a neat way to do this would be appreciated!
Thanks!
