A problem met in building a SDK sample

Question

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Basic-Tiles-Sample-805a5d7b

I have download the sample from the hyperlink above, but I found I can't update an image tile.

It doesn't work at all, does anyone have idea about it?

Answer 1

Try changing this line

        // get the image attributes for this template and fill them in
        var tileImageAttributes = tileXml.getElementsByTagName("image");
        tileImageAttributes[0].setAttribute("src", "ms-resource:images/redWide.png");
        tileImageAttributes[0].setAttribute("alt", "red graphic");

to this:

        // get the image attributes for this template and fill them in
        var tileImageAttributes = tileXml.getElementsByTagName("image");
        tileImageAttributes[0].setAttribute("src", "ms-resource:images/redWide.scale-80.png");
        tileImageAttributes[0].setAttribute("alt", "red graphic");

in default.js

Thank you  for your reply, but I met another problem @_@

If I unpin the tile in the start menu, I can't pin it any more.
How can I pin an application to the start menu? Right mouse click and select to pin to start menu donesn't work.

Hi Colin,

That should do it!  Note that it will restore it to its original location so if you have a lot of icons you may have missed it.  Also, try shutting down your machine and then restarting it.  Finally, you can uninstall it (again by right clicking on it) and see if that does it for you!
