Make a Performance Monitor from Windows 8 Task Manger (TechMeShow).

I was recently responding to a thread on XDA Forums as someone wanted to make a button in their project and have a transition/fade to another “Page”. So, thought I would share that quick little snippet below. <Button x:Name=”btnNameHere” Content=”My Button” Margin=”0,15,0,15″> <Button.Transitions> <TransitionCollection> <EntranceThemeTransition /> </TransitionCollection> </Button.Transitions> </Button> This is intended for your XAML File, it should work with C#, C++, and probably VB Projects.

So you’re making a Windows 8 App and using the WebView control but can’t figure out how to get the title of the webpage you’re requesting? Well, don’t feel bad because it’s not very obvious on how to do it, in fact you’re going to have to use a little JavaScript to figure it out (or just use my code). public AppName() { Browser.LoadCompleted += Browser_LoadCompleted; Browser.Navigate(new Uri(“http://www.bing.com”,UriKind.Absolute)); } void [...]

As everyone knows, Windows 8/RT is coming out and more and more people are not too sure if they’re willing to try making App’s for the Metro-recommended OS. I have to be honest, at first I wasn’t too sure but I have played with my Samsung Series 7 Slate that now has Windows 8 Consumer Release (CR) & I really love it. Perhaps because it’s on a Tablet and maybe [...]

If you’re a server Admin or even an active security freak like me, you’re always wondering who or if anyone has remotely and successfully logged in to your computer but more importantly… Did they open or access anything you need to be worried about?

As most of you know now the new Windows 8 Preview came out and I put it on my Samsung Series 7 Slate where you can get from Amazon pretty decently priced.

05/18/2012 – UPDATE: VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM OF ARTICLE… As someone who is normally a proud Microsoft developer, I unfortunately haven’t been lately. For the past few weeks I have found a bunch of tweaks that I have done to be fun and harmless and enjoy but unfortunately also have made/done some hacks in the new Microsoft Windows 8 OS but not too happy. As a developer, the one specific [...]
