I am using Visual Studio 2012 and can easily create a single page application. I would like to create a second page and have it appear to the right of the main page. Windows Phones will give you a little peek into the next page and you can swipe the screen to switch pages. How can this be done? I think it needs to be more than handling an event, because of the peek/preview we can see on the right edge.
Are you thinking of a panorama control? This sounds like what you're talking about, although another option in most situations is a pivot control.
If you want to see a a part of the next page you need to use Panorama control
You can use Panorama Control in WP8 SDK for this. Start with the Windows Phone Panorama App template in Create New Project in VS: How to create a Panorama Windows Phone App.
The PIVOT CONTROL is more manageable than the PANORAMA.
Panorama cannot navigate programmatically from one page to another, while the pivot control allows you that! [see here for implementation]
See pivot control example and compare with panorama example if you will.

I have a task pane add-in in Office.
I have an item in the task pane, and a delete button. Now, when users click on the delete button, I want to pop up a small window to ask if users are sure about the deletion. If yes, we continue; if no, we go back to the current page.
It is like the Window confirm() method for a web page.
Does anyone know how to pop up this small window in the task pane add-in?
Additionally, if I want users to choose an option in this popup window (eg, choosing a colour between blue or red) before continuing (let's forget yes or no), how could we realise this? More generally, is it possible to create a custom confirm box?
As you design and build web apps for Office 365 or add-ins for Office and SharePoint, you can take advantage of the Office UI toolkit to make your experience look and feel like Office. The Office UI toolkit has key plug and play components that will make it easy to create web experiences that connect to and integrate with Office.
One of the controls offered by Office Fabric JS package is Dialog which has a lot of customization. I believe you'll find one suitable for your task.
Yet another option is to use any UI package which has variety of UI controls, for example jQuery mobile. And finally you may just write your own control.
I have a single Windows Phone page, let say Details.xaml.
I want to use it as a single view page as well as to reuse that page in different panorama pages.
How can I add that page as an PanoramaItem?
Can you provide some go resource about good practice in implementing Panorama page in Windows Phone 8?
Thank you
You can build a UserControl containing the Visual structure that you wish to present, you can check the microsoft guidelines on Panorama pages.
I've an XPages Web app and want to mobilize it. However, I'm encountering difficulty in finding a suitable control to let users for selecting a name from Domino Directory.
In my Web app, I use the built-in typeahead and xe:namePicker for that purpose. However, these two items would not work nicely on a mobile page. Are there any alternative solutions?
The standard typeahead will work if you include the dojo tundra.css in your mobile app, this will be modified to be included in the future.
The name picker doesn't work as the type of control used doesn't support mobile devices well, currenty there is no in built solution, An idea that comes to mind is click a button and open a page to a dataview / repeat control that has all the names in it and a textbox to filter the list.
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 am working on enterprise apps, I am using telerik controls to make life easier ;)
The layout of my application on the left radpanelbar used for the navigation menu, on the right side is the content.
I want to make this navigation menu to navigate to a usercontrol (.ascx file) instead of a page (.aspx file)
The navigation control is in the master page.
I have multiple reasons to make this kind of navigation:
I have many user controls, and do not want to make pages (.aspx) as many user controls as I have.
Which is the most important I want to make this happen on the fly with out post pack (AJAX).
So please could any one tell about the best practice to do it.
One possible solution might be to load the navigation user control programmatically via AJAX when the user clicks a panelbar item. Still positioning this user control on the master page and loading it from the content page is quite odd to me and I personally do not approve it as a good architectural decision.
