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.

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.
