DevExpress Live Tile Manager

This app provides a way to create and manage Live Tiles within the Windows 8 Start Screen for traditional WinForms and WPF applications built using the DevExpress WinRTLiveTileManager component. Traditional desktop applications do not have a direct way to display Live Tiles in the Start Screen. As a bridge between the Start Screen and WinForms desktop applications, the Live Tile Manager allows developers to create, manage and update Live Tiles based on notifications sent by their desktop applications.

Feature:

• Display Live Tiles for WinForms and WPF desktop apps built using the DevExpress WinRTLiveTileManager component.
• Managing Live Tiles in the Start Screen via Pin/Unpin buttons.
• Automatic communication between desktop apps and the Windows Start Screen.
• Automatic update of Live Tiles when receiving notifications from a desktop app.
• Launching a desktop app when clicking a Live Tile, even if the desktop app has been closed.
• Displaying Live Tiles for multiple desktop apps at the same time.
• Displaying multiple Live Tiles for the same desktop app.
• Ability to switch to a specific module within the desktop app.
