Unfortunately, there’s no support for sorting a collection view in Win8 (nor filtering or grouping). The only way to do this is to manipulate the data source directly, then assign it to Source property. This has been discussed as an improvement for the post-Win8 timeframe. Wish I had better news 🙂
Windows Runtime Projections are the way that the Windows Runtime APIs are exposed in each language. This may be at compile time (as in C++) or at runtime (as in JavaScript) or a combination (as in C#). Each language decides how to present the WinRT APIs best. Most of the time it is a direct … Read more
After much digging, I found the information you need using NetworkInformation and HostName. NetworkInformation.GetInternetConnectionProfile retrieves the connection profile associated with the internet connection currently used by the local machine. NetworkInformation.GetHostNames retrieves a list of host names. It’s not obvious but this includes IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as strings. Using this information we can get the … Read more
Windows 10 Mobile UWP If you are only targeting Windows 10 Mobile, the 8.1 way still works, given that you get the right App ID. It can be retrieved through: Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.CurrentApp.AppId However, that only works when the app is installed through the store, as the ID is assigned during store association / publishing.

WinRT is a replacement for the Winapi. The api is native, very unlike WPF that runs as a layer on top of the CLR. It certainly resembles WPF, part of what causes confusion. It adopted the metadata format of managed code, replacing type libraries of old. And uses XAML for UI designs, much like WPF, … Read more
To improve the other answers even a bit more, the following code also takes care of scaling factors, e.g. for my 200% for my Windows display (correctly returns 3200×1800) and 300% of the Lumia 930 (1920×1080). var bounds = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().VisibleBounds; var scaleFactor = DisplayInformation.GetForCurrentView().RawPixelsPerViewPixel; var size = new Size(bounds.Width*scaleFactor, bounds.Height*scaleFactor); As stated in the other … Read more
You can use the Ignore attribute: public class someclass { public string property1 { get; set; } public string property2 { get; set; } [Ignore] public string property3 { get; set; } }
Unfortunately the alternative (DockPanel) isnt available for Metro. You could try a WrapGrid, but I dont know if it’ll solve your problem (Ive never used it). The only real way of doing this is using a Grid as you described: <Grid Width=”400″> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width=”Auto” /> <ColumnDefinition /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <TextBlock Text=”Label” Width=”150″ /> <TextBox Text=”Value” … Read more
Many of the reflection methods can be found in the System.Reflection.TypeInfo class. You can get an instance of TypeInfo for your Type using the GetTypeInfo extension method, provided by System.Reflection.IntrospectionExtensions: using System.Reflection; // … ui.GetType().GetTypeInfo().IsSubclassOf(type)
Though its far from complete or correct and has lots of bugs, but I have started this project here https://winrtsock.codeplex.com. Have not implemented any listen/accept as of yet
