I have just started to develop in universal app. I have developed app in Windows 8 store apps and also developing Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 8.1 (SilverLight) Apps. Question is related to universal app in Windows and Single UI which is created in App. Share folder.
1. Is there any control in universal app like Pivot or panorama as like windows phone 8 and windows phone 8.1 (silverlight) have ?
2. which is best to design for data binding Listview or Listbox?
3. In c# we can write like
#if WINDOWS_APP
welcometb.Text = "Welcome to Windows App";
#endif
#if WINDOWS_PHONE_APP
welcometb.Text = "Welcome to Windows Phone App";
#endif
to get which app is there, for XAMl how can we determine that it is windows app and it is windows Phone app
1) The equivalent is a hub app.
In the Windows Store project the layout is like a pivot with all the pages open at once. If you think about the screen size/shape/orientation of a Windows tablet compared to a Windows Phone the pivot/panorama layouts don't make sense.
In the phone project the layout is the same as a pivot app more or less.
I can only answer one question per post, so I can't include the answers to 2 & 3.
