windows phone 8.1 silverlight calendar - xaml

I've been struggling to add a calendar control to my windows phone 8.1 silverlight application but i found nothing, i used syncfusion calendar control once but it was a windows phone 8.1 application not silverlight one, please anyone can provide a useful information?

You could take a look at the Calendar control for WindowsPhone Silverlight from ComponentOne. You could download it from https://www.componentone.com/Downloads/Download/?downloadID=133 and refer to its documentation at : http://helpcentral.componentone.com/nethelp/WPCalendar/

Best Way to use maps In Windows Phone

In the documentation it says that using the map control in windows phone 8.0 is obsellete using this method. But I could not find how to implement the api maps in windows phone 8.0 silverlight?
<maps:Map x:Name="bingMap" >
<maps:Map.Center>
<Location:GeoCoordinate Altitude="NaN"
Course="NaN"HorizontalAccuracy="NaN"
Longitude="-2.922363"
Latitude="54.6128"
Speed="NaN"
VerticalAccuracy="NaN"/>
</maps:Map.Center>
</maps:Map>
Can you please provide the namespace from your code?
I'm currently developing a Windows Phone 8 Silverlight app and I'm using this one:
xmlns:maps="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Maps.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Maps"
Besides, I've only found this note in Msdn documentation, but it is about another Map API:
"The new Maps API in Windows Phone 8 is different from the Bing Maps available in Windows Phone OS 7.1. The Bing Maps control is still supported in Windows Phone 8, but is deprecated. Typically, the only time you should use the Bing Maps control is in an existing app that you have upgraded from Windows Phone OS 7.1 to Windows Phone 8."
I have since found this excellent article thanks to the team of msdn about using the new maps bing api.

There is no richtextbox control in my Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 App

I need to add a RichTextBox or RichTextBlock to my Windows Phone App. I started developing my app in Windows Phone Sileverlight 8.1. I could add "<RichTextBox> </RichTextBox>" in xaml page, and it shows the RichTextBox control in the designer. But when I install the application in my Windows Phone, the RichTextBox control is not working, means we cannot insert any text in the box.
Please help me to resolve this problem. Is there any alternative toolkit for getting RichTextBox/RichTextBlock in my app.

Windows 8.1 dropped Camera App from filepicker

I am developing a LOB web app using jquery mobile for Windows tablets. I was going to use the feature that was available on Windows 8 which is to take a picture on the file picker. and send the image in a form. However, since I updated yesterday my computer to win 8.1 there is no Camera App in the file picker anymore. I don't know if there is a way to have it back there. Or if there is another photo app that implements the filepicker contract.
Thanks
