I develop a windows phone 8 app written in visual basic. I want to integrate the Nokia Imaging SDk into my app. Is the SDK available for visual basic or only for C#???
All .NET applications, be it C# or VB.NET or whichever language, are compiled in the same intermediary language, called CIL. Basically, if the SDK works with a C# app, it will work with a VB.NET app.

Can't find Blank app (XAML) in VS 2013 for win 8.1. i where going to follow to guide from head first book to learn c#.
It may be under a different name, especially if you're using a different update. Do File.New Project... then look under Visual C# / Store Apps / Universal Apps or Visual C# / Store Apps / Windows Apps
Can I develop XNA based application for Windows8 in Visual Studio 2012?How can I make metro based app utilizing XNA framework?
XNA Game Studio has been discontinued by Microsoft, but Monogame is starting to really take off! Monogame can deploy to Windows, Windows Store, Mac, Linux, and mobile platforms as well.
Try these visual studio XNA extensions, they work for VS2010, VS2012 and VS2013:

(Just download the latest release and follow the instructions that come with the package)
Can you make me clear which delevoper platform I can use for delevop Apps for Windows RT (not full Windows 8!). Are some projects templates in Visual Studio which are allowed me to use only WinRt without .NEt during my development on c# and xaml.
The Visual C#/VB/C++/JS|Windows Store app templates (Blank App, Grid App, Split App) are for apps that will run on Windows RT and any other Windows 8. You can use .NET on Windows RT, but if you don't want to - you can also use C++ or JavaScript. Note that Windows RT is the SKU of Windows that runs on ARM tablets, while WinRT or Windows Runtime is the new generation development platform for Windows. Also note, that while most parts of Windows Runtime can be used only by Windows Store apps, some can be used by both Windows Store and Desktop apps, some can only be used by desktop apps and I think some parts of the old WinAPI/Win32 might be accessible to Windows Store apps too. MSDN documentation states which APIs apply to which types of applications.
You can use Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows 8.0.
More info on msdn.
The project templates are available under Windows Store category under Visual C# in New Project in Visual Studio.
My Visual Studio can't seem to build any of the Metro Sample applications. As I've never really used this IDE before, I've pretty much given up.
Can anyone direct me to a sample application that is already built and preferably some source code along with it for reference?
Note:
I have a copy of Windows 7 AND 8. However I can't seem to build Microsoft's File Access Sample in my copy of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. I'm trying to test one of my Win7 applications in Metro mode of Win8 (the application may be called for use during a user's session in a given Metro app).
Metro Apps (that is, applicatons based on WinRT in Windows 8) will not run in Visual Studio 2010. You need Visual Studio 11 express (that comes on the Windows 8 Developer Preview with developer tools English, 64-bit (x64) or Visual Studio 11 developer preview (available for MSDN subscribers)).
According to Getting started with Windows Metro style app development, "To begin building Metro style apps for Windows, you must first download and install the Windows Developer Preview, which includes Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows Developer Preview and the Windows SDK for Metro style Apps."
So I think you'll have to do metro-style development from the Windows 8 Preview for now. That website also has some hello world type stuff and general direction on getting started.
You probably can build Metro Style Apps in Visual Studio 2010. Basically Metro is a special type of design where focus is more on texts than pictures. Metro means " Text before Chrome".
If you can build such metro controls ( or you can copy some from any windows 8 copy) you probably will be able to build very basic Metro style apps , but if u wish to build something advanced then i would suggest better switch to Windows 8 with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate .

Why are you separating this from C#/ Silverlight ? aren't windows phone application written in C#/ Silverlight? , it doesn't matter whether you're writing this for windows phone or for a C# console/Windows forms Application.
