Is there any way to create IE ToolBar using SilverLight only (i.e. without using VC++/ATL)? Like Bing bar Tool bar from microsoft.
There is no way to build components loaded into the toolbar using Silverlight. You can't use Silverlight to build libraries that are load into other processes.

I want to design my xaml user control in metro style and want to use controls like tiles etc which are missing from usual XAML toolbox. How do I use these controls ? Are there any packages or library which allows us with modern UI metro controls to be directly used with XAML ?
you cannot use native WinRT visual components in a WPF project. You will have to rely on custom controls/styles. You can do it by yourself or you can use some third party librairies like Open Source Modern UI for WPF or Materiel Design in XML or use commercial components set like DevExpress
I have a universal app for Windows and Phone in VS2013, and I have a page in the shared project of the solution.
When creating pages in the Windows project, the XAML preview window shows a tablet.
When creating pages in the Phone project, the XAML preview window shows a phone.
When creating pages in the shared project, the XAML preview window shows a... tablet.
As I try to put more pages in the shared project, I'd like to have a quick way to sanity-check my UI on both form factors without having to actually run the project. Sadly, there is no option in the Device panel to switch between preview devices.
How can I preview the XAML of a shared project page in the phone without actually running the project?
You don't need to run the project.
There is an easy way to switch between the different design views using the dropdown that is present above the xaml code of the shared project as shown below.
Step 1: Locate the dropdown
Step 2: Click on the dropdown arrow
Step 3: Change the Project to .WindowsPhone
Step 4: Change it back whenever required.
Hope it helps
In your XAML View. Above the XAML code in the top tool bar you can find a dropdown that will let you switch between YourApp.Windows and YourApp.WindowsPhone. This way you can easily switch views.
Hope it helps.
Windows Vista, 7 and 8 all display a preview of the application; when the application icon of an open application is hovered over in the taskbar.
Some developers have added custom options in this tooltip, like Windows Media Player:
Given an application written in C++ which uses the Windows Template Library, how would I code in a custom button to an application tooltip preview?
The feature is known as Taskbar Extensions - Thumbnail Toolbars. WTL does not provide any helper/wrapper classes to implement support for thumbnail toolbars, so you have to use the API directly, using ITaskbarList3 interface.
I'm working on a project that needs more 'flare' than what can normally be done with VB6. My thought is to generate HTML/CSS content and display this within a browser control on a form. I would also like the ability to respond to form events from the web content within the VB application. My inspiration comes from recent experience with java servlets and jps. Has anyone done something similar?
I'm interested in what controls could be used to display the content and any suggestions on ways to interact with the page elements. Generating the html and css should not be a problem.
Thanks
Use the Microsoft Web Browser Control to embed Internet Explorer into your application. Then you may be able to implement two-way communication with the BeforeNavigate2 event: I believe you can do it in .Net.
An alternative way to get "flair" is to create a fancy form in .NET, perhaps using WPF, and then display it from a VB6 application using the Interop Forms 2 Toolkit.
i need to take user input and make a very simple bar graph from it in vb.net. anyone have suggestions on an easy way to accomplish this?
You didn't specify a framework but I'm guessing that you're using winforms?
What you're looking for is a chart / bar control. By default WinForms doesn't have great bar / chart controls. This site has a breakdown of the various add ons Microsoft released for WinForms and ASP.Net in the area of chart controls

Agreed - you didn't specifiy framewrok version - web or windows app. But here
is a good free one for 3.5 framework web or windows apps.
I have been very please with ZedGraph for .net 2.0. I use it for both webforms and winForms.
