WindowsPhone 8.1: Now UniversalWrapPanel is an alternative for WrapPanel(C#-XAML)

Introduction:

Still i am really addicted for 'WrapPanel'.Because WrapPanel is great for laying out things in a vertical or horizontal orientation until you reach the edge of the container and then moving on to the next column or row.But unfortunately i found 'WrapPanal' is no longer supported by windows store apps(i.e Universal Apps).Yestereday i found 'UniversalWrapPanel' is an alternative for 'WrapPanel'  layout .And i am heartly says very thanks to @gregstoll for making UniversalWrapPanel.However in this post i am going to explain about UniversalWrapPanel.

Some times we may need to drag and drop the specific control around the screen.So it may chance to control will be not visible if drag & drop meets out of screen boundaries.However we can easily resolve this issue using "built-in Windows Phone behaviors" (In our sample we are using 'Motion behaviors' ,i.e MouseDragElementBehavior).

WindowsPhone: Write Text on Image (C#-XAML)

Introduction:

Recently one of my blog follower was requested for a sample as 'he want to write text on image with MouseMove event'.For this question my previous article is enough but not efficient.Because there i was set text on image at static (x,y) co-ordinates with help of WriteableBitmap. In this sample we need to write text on dynamic (x,y) co-ordinates and so i thought 'WriteableBitmapEx' library is best match for this requirement.Because this library adds more extensions to WriteableBitmap,there by we can do direct manipulation of a bitmap and could be used to generate fast procedural images by drawing directly to a bitmap.

WindowsPhone : Making nice custom loader/rotator with related text (C#-XAML)

Introduction:

I already posted this kind of article here.And it is very nice example for making custom loader.However we need to provide some kind of progress/loaders until user data is loaded.And it is good practices user should knowing about his data is still loading from web.In previous article i introduce loader without related text.But now I thought It's better to showing related text with loader,So user can get an idea about for which date he is waiting so far..
