How to Integrate Calendar with a Windows 10 Universal App VB.NET.
Some recommendations/tips on best practices.
Comparisions on approach suggeted.
Recommendations on which is better, to open users Windows calendar integrated on my app, or add appointments to a database and sync it with users calendar on demand, for example.
VB.NET tutorials on using calendar would be greatly appreciated too...
CalendarView is a control itself in the Universal Windows Apps.
This View provides a visual calendar display to select a date. This view can be customized, to change the language, start date, end date etc
To add into xaml page, use following tag
<CalendarView SelectionMode="Single" CalendarViewDayItemChanging="CalendarView_CalendarViewDayItemChanging" IsGroupLabelVisible="True" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" IsOutOfScopeEnabled="True" Language="en-US" CalendarIdentifier="GregorianCalendar"/>
Now its purely requirement driven, if you do not want to use framework provided control, you can write your own custom control. this link has good material on user control.
The datepicker class and about can also be reffered

I´m wondering if there´s a way to implement the Panorama Control from Windows phone 8 into Microsofts new universal Windows platform. The look and feel of the Panorama Control is great and I really can´t figure out why Microsoft didn´t implement this Control into UWP.
Actually I´m new to UWP (Coded WinForms Projects, only) and I´m looking for some layouting Standards which can help me to create applications for multiple devices.
In UWP you can use Hub or Pivot controls

I need to create an app that has a few setttings that need to be set before the application can continue i would like to do that using some sort of wizard. I looked at other apps and found that the 'Kid's corner' app does exactly what i want.
My question is is that a default control or is it a custom control. If it's a custom control how would one create one.
There is no specific template to accomplish this task. The most common way to do it would be to create a separate page for the wizard. On the page you'll use various controls to actually create a settings page. Most likely these will include Textblock (for static text), TextBox (for text entry), and ToggleSwitch for binary (e.g. On/Off) options. Here's an example of what you could use to create a very simple welcome wizard that allows the user to turn live tiles on or off.
<TextBlock Text="Welcome to the app!">
<ToggleSwitch x:Name="toggleSwitch1" Header="Turn on live tiles?"
OnContent="On" OffContent="Off"
Toggled="ToggleSwitch_Toggled"/>
If you need more info please ask :)

I'm making a Windows Phone application that needs a listbox that can "snap" to positions as it scrolls (just like the one in the Media Hub that shows current/future songs).
I've spent awhile looking all over google and can't find anything. Is there a native control that does it, or a third party library that contains it.
There are no built in controls that do this.
The SlideView from the Telerik RadControls can do this.
It's $99 or free if you sign up for the Nokia Premium Developer Program rather than sign up with the App Hub directly.
I've spent a while searching around and I can't find a solution to this:
I have a transparent, borderless form that displays a clock. I can load this just fine, but I want the clock to be part of the desktop, so it cannot take focus, is behind other applications, and is not hidden with Win+D (similar to applications like RainMeter).
I need the solution to work with VB.Net (I'm using 2010)
Thanks in anticipation
Take a look at the following codeproject article:
Application Desktop Toolbars
It seems to do what you require.
This article is about Application Desktop Toolbars, which are
applications that can align to the screen much like the taskbar. The
article will develop a base class for developing such apps.
I'm working on a project that needs more 'flare' than what can normally be done with VB6. My thought is to generate HTML/CSS content and display this within a browser control on a form. I would also like the ability to respond to form events from the web content within the VB application. My inspiration comes from recent experience with java servlets and jps. Has anyone done something similar?
I'm interested in what controls could be used to display the content and any suggestions on ways to interact with the page elements. Generating the html and css should not be a problem.
Thanks
Use the Microsoft Web Browser Control to embed Internet Explorer into your application. Then you may be able to implement two-way communication with the BeforeNavigate2 event: I believe you can do it in .Net.
An alternative way to get "flair" is to create a fancy form in .NET, perhaps using WPF, and then display it from a VB6 application using the Interop Forms 2 Toolkit.
