<\/a>. You can create tiles directly from your application and update them from a background agent.<\/p>\nHere is the sample which creates a “secondary tile” for your application:<\/p>\n
[code language=”csharp”]\/\/This is a .Net class named StandardTileData
\nvar theTile= new StandardTileData
\n {
\n Title = "Secondary Tile", \/\/The title
\n BackgroundImage = new Uri("FrontImage.jpg", UriKind.Relative),
\n Count = 12, \/\/Notification number
\n BackTitle = "Back’s page title", \/\/The title of the back page
\n BackContent = "A text is nice here",
\n BackBackgroundImage = new Uri("backImage.jpg", UriKind.Relative)
\n };<\/p>\n
\/\/ Add the live tile to the Home screen (will exit the app)
\nShellTile.Create(new Uri("\/MainPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative), theTile);[\/code]<\/p>\n
Now, you may want to generate a screenshot of your application (using WriteableBitmap) and use it as the tile background. This is possible !<\/p>\n
To do so, you have to store the picture in a folder named “Shared\/ShellContent” otherwise you will have an NotSupportedException throwned.<\/p>\n
The URI to use will then look like this one : “isostore:\/Shared\/ShellContent\/background.png”. You can read\u00a0this MSDN page<\/a>\u00a0 It takes me some time and\u00a0Wilfried<\/a>\u00a0 One on the nice feature coming\u00a0with WP7’s mango is “live tiles”\u00a0.
