Body
You are somewhat constrained as to when your background tasks run on the phone. The OS will also move the scheduled time of the tasks if it can execute multiple at the same time - to avoid having to wake up the phone twice. If you're wanting to update the tile every 5 minutes then push notifications are your only option. But you should probably be considering if the user will actually look at information that regularly. I go for a halfway approach - I use a <code>PeriodicTask</code> to update my shell tiles as the OS allows but then when the application launches I manually refresh the tiles with the latest information. This allows the user to "force" the tile data and additionally provides more realistic data after the user has exited the application. To get around the 14 day expiry re-register your background task on every launch of your application. That'll keep pushing the 14 days out. It's intended to prevent unused applications from using precious resources - if your user is launching your application they probably still want the background agent to run. And if not, they can disable it through Settings > Applications > Background Tasks (or by uninstalling, obviously). To register your task execute something like the following in initialisation code; <pre><code> PeriodicTask task = ScheduledActionService.Find("MyTaskName") as PeriodicTask; if ((task != null) && (task.IsEnabled == true)) { ScheduledActionService.Remove("MyTaskName"); } task = new PeriodicTask("MyTaskName") { Description = "My Periodic Task", }; ScheduledActionService.Add(task); #if DEBUG if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached == true) { ScheduledActionService.LaunchForTest("MyTaskName", TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)); } #endif </code></pre> The <code>#if DEBUG</code> allows you to schedule the task straight after execution for testing scenarios.

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.
