Fluid layout of grid in xaml Winrt application - windows-8

I want to build a windows 8 app in C# & Xaml , which has the home screen something like fluid grid where one group follows the second group like the start screen of windows 8 screen. !http://postimg.org/image/4ygwladm9/
I have implemented many a times a screen where we can have sections starting a new column altogether but no where I found a fluid thing as mentioned above.
The usual code is available here.
Please help me out if you have come across the same problem before.
Thanks in advance.

Got the answer in this blog.

You can set the mobile-mode to null and it will keep the same behavior as desktop.

Updating live tiles for windows phone 8 periodically

I need to update my application's tile periodically with the count the amount of inbox items. Anyone can give me a reference or relevant link to a example or tutorial? I get my data from a webservice. I went on google, and all the examples is on button click. I need one that does this automatically every few minutes/hours? This is for the windows phone 8 start screen of the phone.
thanks in advance!
This is probably the best tutorial I have seen for live tiles in wp8:

There are a couple of different ways you can do this. You can use Azure Mobile Services OR you can use a background process for your app to update the tile. You can find information here :

Silverlight 4 wait/spinner control

I'd like to implement a spinner control (something along these lines) in Silverlight 4 to display during pending operations. There are several examples on the web for Silverlight 3 but I'm either unable to compile them into my project or they just flat out display nothing. In addition I'm unable to find any examples specific to Silverlight 4.
Can someone please post a sample for Silverlight 4 or a link to one?
You can use the BusyIndicator.

I found a good example of a spinner control here. It's very simple and may not be ideal but it works perfect for my purposes. It's a XAML-only solution so it is very easy to port.
If you decide to use it, then I'd like to echo one of the commenters' suggestions that you change the <Grid> to a <Viewbox> so that the spinner will scale automatically.
I've put together a pure xaml spinner out of another example I've found ( see source ). It works on silverlight 4 and moonlight 4 too.

Slightly nicer visual than the "rotate some rectangles" approach.

How can i design menu and title in vb.net?

I Would like to create my menu groups in my desktop application as the one shown in sample image. I would like to know which control is used for it? What extra works we need to do on it?
A reference to similar one is also welcome...
Thanks

Create sidebar in mac app with sections

I want to create a sidebar in one of my mac applications. Basically it will look much like the Things sidebar.
Here is the picture that I basically want to recreate:
I can't figure out how to show the "sections" (collect, focus and active projects) and how to have certain items always show up (inbox, today, next, etc...) and finally I would really appreciate if someone would explain how to make the active projects section, with the triangle.
Also I need the active projects section to load from an entity in core data.
I would also really appreciate if you could post an example.
Apple's "SourceView" sample should be helpful with this:
Apple Example
PXSourceList is an open source NSOutlineView subclass specifically built for mimicking what you posted. I've used it in a number of projects, and it's very easy and flexible to use. I highly recommend it.
The active projects section is probably just a 1 column NSOutlineView with no column header.
