    <p>I'm trying to display a tweet on the backside of a live tile, when I set it as BackContent it's way too big.... Is there any way to lower the font size?</p> <p>EDIT: </p> <p>Claus, Now i'm having trouble getting the tile to display and I can't get any info on why it's not working due to the nature of your ImageOpened call, I can't step through it with the debugger....</p> <p>In my TileGenerator class, this works:</p> <pre><code> public static void GenerateTestTile(string strTweet, string strScreenName, string tileTitle) { // Define the tile's address. This is where you navigate, when the tile is clicked. var address = "/MainPage.xaml?TileID=6"; // Check if a tile with the same address already exists //var tile = ShellTile.ActiveTiles.FirstOrDefault(x =&gt; x.NavigationUri.ToString() == address); var tile = ShellTile.ActiveTiles.First(); // Define our tile data. var tileData = new StandardTileData { BackTitle = strScreenName, BackContent = strTweet }; // If the file already exists, update it. if (tile != null) { tile.Update(tileData); } else { // Otherwise, create a new tile. ShellTile.Create(new Uri(address, UriKind.Relative), tileData); } } </code></pre> <p>But this doesn't (exact method taken from your example), it doesn't do anything to the tile at all...</p> <pre><code> public static void GenerateExampleTile(string timeOfDay, string temperature, Uri cloudImagePath, string tileTitle) { // Setup the font style for our tile. var fontFamily = new FontFamily("Segoe WP"); var fontForeground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White); var tileSize = new Size(173, 173); // Create a background rectagle for a custom colour background. var backgroundRectangle = new Rectangle(); backgroundRectangle.Width = tileSize.Width; backgroundRectangle.Height = tileSize.Height; backgroundRectangle.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue); // Load our 'cloud' image. var source = new BitmapImage(cloudImagePath); source.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.None; source.ImageOpened += (sender, e) =&gt; // This is important. The image can't be rendered before it's loaded. { // Create our image as a control, so it can be rendered to the WriteableBitmap. var cloudImage = new Image(); cloudImage.Source = source; cloudImage.Width = 100; cloudImage.Height = 64; // TextBlock for the time of the day. TextBlock timeOfDayTextBlock = new TextBlock(); timeOfDayTextBlock.Text = timeOfDay; timeOfDayTextBlock.FontSize = 20; timeOfDayTextBlock.Foreground = fontForeground; timeOfDayTextBlock.FontFamily = fontFamily; // Temperature TextBlock. TextBlock temperatureTextBlock = new TextBlock(); temperatureTextBlock.Text = temperature + '°'; temperatureTextBlock.FontSize = 30; temperatureTextBlock.Foreground = fontForeground; temperatureTextBlock.FontFamily = fontFamily; // Define the filename for our tile. Take note that a tile image *must* be saved in /Shared/ShellContent // or otherwise it won't display. var tileImage = string.Format("/Shared/ShellContent/{0}.jpg", timeOfDay); // Define the path to the isolatedstorage, so we can load our generated tile from there. var isoStoreTileImage = string.Format("isostore:{0}", tileImage); // Open the ISF store, using (IsolatedStorageFile store = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication()) { // Create our bitmap, in our selected dimension. var bitmap = new WriteableBitmap((int)tileSize.Width, (int)tileSize.Height); // Render our background. Remember the renders are in the same order as XAML, // so whatever is rendered first, is rendered behind the next element. bitmap.Render(backgroundRectangle, new TranslateTransform()); // Render our cloud image bitmap.Render(cloudImage, new TranslateTransform() { X = 8, // Left margin offset. Y = 54 // Top margin offset. }); // Render the temperature text. bitmap.Render(temperatureTextBlock, new TranslateTransform() { X = 124, Y = 63 }); // Render the time of the day text. bitmap.Render(timeOfDayTextBlock, new TranslateTransform() { X = 12, Y = 6 }); // Create a stream to store our file in. var stream = store.CreateFile(tileImage); // Invalidate the bitmap to make it actually render. bitmap.Invalidate(); // Save it to our stream. bitmap.SaveJpeg(stream, 173, 173, 0, 100); // Close the stream, and by that saving the file to the ISF. stream.Close(); } // Define the tile's address. This is where you navigate, when the tile is clicked. var address = "/MainPage.xaml?TileID=" + timeOfDay; // Check if a tile with the same address already exists var tile = ShellTile.ActiveTiles.FirstOrDefault(x =&gt; x.NavigationUri.ToString() == address); // Define our tile data. var tileData = new StandardTileData { BackgroundImage = new Uri(isoStoreTileImage, UriKind.Absolute), Title = tileTitle, }; // If the file already exists, update it. if (tile != null) { tile.Update(tileData); } else { // Otherwise, create a new tile.

    1. COBe careful here. You don't guarantee that you call NotifyComplete() on all code paths, which will eventually lead to your action becoming unscheduled. Also, you're not allowed to create a tile from a background agent.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
