Is it possible to create a win8(normal) application for tablet using C# (VS2010).
If possible, can any one show me an example how to create a simple application to turn on Win 8 tablet's Bluetooth.
Please help. I have no experience in win8 application development.
To create the new Windows store apps you need Visual Studio 2012. You can still use 2010 to create normal Desktop applications (WinForms, WPF).

Is it possible from a Windows 8.1 store application to tell if the tablet has it's power supply connected.
Basically I poll a service every 15 minutes to check for new data but I'd like this to be every minute if the power is connected.
I did ask this question a while back and was told it wasn't possible but I was wondering if the windows 8.1 update has added any extra functionality.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 and the application is a Windows 8.1 application.
Many thanks
Still no Power Management API or any alternatives for Windows 8.1
Check System section in this MSDN article:
Alternatives to Windows APIs in Windows Store apps
Is it possible to develop Windows Store apps on a Windows 7 device, by using the Surface RT and VS2012 remote debugging?
No, you'll need a Windows 8 machine for development.
In windows 8 consumer preview ,i used visual studio 2011 ,it has windows metro style app option.. and in windows 8 Pro i am using vs 2012 it has windows store app option ,there is no windows 8 metro option available in vs2012..is windows metro and store apps one and the same?
They are indeed the same this. "Windows Store apps" is the final name. The name change is speculated to be for legal reasons.
The Windows Store Apps used to be called Metro Style apps, but then Microsoft ran into some issues with one of its partners in Europe and had to come up with a new name. Now they are called Windows Store Apps.
I am currently developing an application for a Motorola enterprise mobility device which has Windows Mobile 6.5. I am developing the application using Visual Studio 2008 Mobile Development Kit using C#.
My problem is this :
I want to use a database for this application. But I have no idea how to use a database in a mobile device. I tried googling and even searching on this site but could not find a proper way to do it. While searching how to do this I came across this "SQL Anywhere Developer Edition" but I have no idea about it.
Could you please suggest the best way to have a database in the mobile application itself (not using client like SQL Server in the mobile) or any other way.
You want Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 for Windows Mobile.
I want to access the Windows mobile SQLCE database from the desktop application when device is connected to my PC. please suggest is it possible? how i do this?
Using .NET
It is possible, but not supported: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlce/thread/824909fc-783e-476a-8750-a05d8510b66d/
