Windows Phone Toolkit for Windows Phone SDK 8
Right after the release of the Windows Phone SDK 8.0, the Windows Phone Developer team has released the Windows Phone Toolkit for Windows Phone 8.0. The toolkit is available from PhoneGap as NuGet package or as source code . To download head over to https://phone.codeplex.com .
Included are a number of controls, as well as goodies like extension methods and page animations.
AutoCompleteBox
ContextMenu
CustomMessageBox
DateTimeConverters
DateTimePickers
Effects – SlideInEffect, TiltEffect and TurnstileFeatherEffect
ExpanderView
HubTile
ListPicker
LongListMultiSelector
Map extensions
PhoneTextBox
RatingControl
ToggleSwitch
Navigation transitions
WrapPanel
LongListSelector for 7.x
MultiSelect for 7.x
I’m always looking to see how the controls are wired up. My personal recommendation is to pull the source code down, not necessarily the NuGet package. The source code package has the wireups that show you how to use each control.
Happy coding….
