Answer 2

The problem is that the code i posted above works in a regular web browser but does not work in visual studio 2012.

I think its because am suppose to parse the Json response from the Youtube playlist with Winjs.xhr but sadly i don't know how to do all that because am new to developing for Windows 8. Please kindly help me parse the Response from the Youtube playlist  using Winjs.xhr

Hi Donniebiyemi,

I don't think WinJS has the .getJSON() function, this is a function belong to JQuery.

By WinJS, you could do as following, the same as get JSON list.:

WinJS.xhr({url:'http://someservice.com'}).then(
       function(response) { 
            var json = JSON.parse(response.responseText);
       },
       function(error) { //handle error }
    );

Best Regards,
