How do we make Live Tiles?

Question

I couldn't find documentation on making Live Tiles, so I'm sitting here stuck until I find out.

How do we make Live Tiles in Expression Blend and/or Visual Studio 11 in C#?

Hi Ray,

 

I think you are talking about tile notifications.  Here is a sample:

If you have further questions, you can post them in one of the Metro Style app forums by the language you are using.

Answer 3

I am so sorry!  Since the CP many of the links of changed.

Search the samples for tiles:

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/site/search?query=tiles&f%5B0%5D.Value=tiles&f%5B0%5D.Type=SearchText&ac=8

The first 4 samples are good ones.
