I'd like to know how make my app able to receive links from other apps with the Share option of Windows Phone. I've heard of editing the package.appxmanifest file but I can't find it and can't find out how to create it (read this here).
If anyone can help me... help me please !
OK I finally found where I was wrong : if you have the same problem, upgrade the solution to Windows Phone 8.1 (updating Visual Studio to Update 2 before) and then the file will magically appear in the Solution Explorer. You're welcome.

I am trying to customize (add my own menus to the) Windows Explorer toolbar. From web I came to know that it is possible to that by editing the registry. So I changed the owner of
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{5c4f28b5-f869-4e84-8e60-f11db97c5cc7}\TasksItemsSelected\]
and set permissions as full control to me. Adding keys to the above registry didn’t work for me in windows 7 and 8 as well.
I installed the tools “ CustomExplorerToolbar.exe" and “ExplorerToolbarEditor.exe” that worked in windows 7 but not in windows 8. Also using that tool I can only add existing menus but not create new one.
So I did the technique as described below,
I created a shell in commandstore.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\command1]
And called that in,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{5c4f28b5-f869-4e84-8e60-f11db97c5cc7}\TasksItemsSelected\]
#=”command1”
The above method worked for me in windows 7, But it is not working in windows 8. Is there any method to implement that?
Thanks in advance.

No the error is not the same. But the error message you provided is only half and cannot know which template/component is giving the error.
Provide the full error to help you better.

I seem to have a sudden issue with my XAML Designer view in VS2012, and a similar behavior in Blend as well. the view has stopped updating and I'm unable to see any changes immediately if I change any properties.
if I scroll or Pan, the Phone chrome seems to move but the content stays put. It gets restored upon slightly adjusting the borders or restarting the page. has anyone else faced this issue? do you know what I need to do? I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Professional (Update 2)
this image will show you what I mean. I re-installed the app and it didn't help
I had the same problem and I solved it.
I don't know which Graphics you have, but I have an Intel 4000 and a Nvidia 640m and I have to start Visual Studio with the Nvidia Graphics.
Maybe it's the same problem.
Had the same problem when doing XAML design for Silverlight 5 app in VS2012.
Have a HP 8570p with Intel HD Graphics 4000. Win7 64bit
I had the driver version 9.17.10.2867 released 17 Jan 2014.
Had to revert back to 8.15.10.2712 released 22 Jun 2012 and it worked there.
Edit 2014-03-25: Reinstalled the newer driver(was going to test something and remembered this) and now it seems to work with the newer driver version.
I wanted to put this as a comment on the question but that option isn't there for me... Not sure why.
I really don't think it's a memory issue. That doesn't explain resizing fixing the problem? Since this happens for you with all wp applications and not windows 8 I don't think its related to the emulator. I would try reinstalling the windows phone sdk and or the Silverlight runtime. Silverlight might be the faster options to start with.
Also a question, when you say all wp projects. Have you tried this with a CLEAN nothing added or changed project?
We are using MVVM Light Toolkit (from Galasoft - Laurent Bugnion).
Until now we were using Visual Studio 2010.
Everything was working well (thanks to Laurent).
Two days ago we moved to Visual Studio 2012.
And now Intellisense is no longer working in Xaml files (but still working in code-behind).
After looking on forums and made some tests, it appears that we have an issue with "GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5.dll".
As soon as GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5.dll is removed from project references, intellisense is working again.
Someone already had same problem and/or know a solution ?
Thanks.
Alain.
We had a similar problem when we migrated from Silverlight 4 to 5. We were using a local copy of GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5.dll copied from another computer.
Once we installed the MvvmLight .msi package and changed the reference in our Silverlight project to C:\Program Files (x86)\[...]\GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5.dll, IntelliSense started working again.
Hope this helps
I have a Windows 7 64-bit computer with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 Professional installed (C# only).
Now I want FxCop. I read first we should install Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4, so I wanted to do so, but it gives me error and says installation failed, go find more details in some HTML page in a folder path that it does not even exist:
Installation of the “Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7″ product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.
So two questions:
I do not care about the rest of the stuff. I just want FxCop! Do I really need to install this SDK too?
What do you think is the problem when its installation fails?
I had a very similar problem. You don't need to install the SDK to do it. However, you still need to download it which is unfortunate as it is a pretty large download after all. Why it isn't a separate download is beyond me...
Anyway, I extracted the install files I needed by following the information in XXX.
In brief, you need to do this (edited from the link above):
Download the ISO version instead, extract it with 7Zip and locate
Setup\WinSDKNetFxTools\cab1.cab. Open it with Windows and copy out the
file
"WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe_all_enu_1B2F0812_3E8B_426F_95DE_4655AE4DA6C6".
Rename this to "WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe" and it should now install.
You can also browse the ISO image with suitable tools rather than unextracting the whole thing.
Given the date of this post, you might have already found the solution, but it may help others who come acros this issue.
From the page above there is a comment linking to another explanation that is better detailed: Liberate FxCop 10.0.
