Okay, so now I have a Windows 8 Preview VM setup ready. The first thing that I wanted to get started with was the Metro Style Apps. Excellent !!!
Fired up my Visual Studio environment, created a new Metro C# Project and hit the very first wall. The designer view of my HelloMetro.xaml did not show up and instead gave me this error:
“Exception from HRESULT: 0x80270232" ………………
Wow, have worked quite a bit on Silverlight projects based on XAML but never seen anything such. Tried looking into the namespace of each of the .xaml and .cs files, even tried deleting and re-creating the project again.
But looks like there is a pre-requisites for the Metro-Style Apps here.
We need to set the VM resolution to anything higher than 1024X768.
There we go, it worked !!!
