SilverlightShow (@silverlightshow) is a wonderful resource for daily Silverlight and Windows Phone 7 news, exclusive articles, tutorials, videos and training. I would encourage anybody interested in Silverlight, WPF, Windows Phone & other related technologies to check out the SilverlightShow content @ http://silverlightshow.net.
I guest-blogged a series of 2 articles for SilverlightShow:
So, you have heard the buzz about the brave new world of Windows 8 from MSFT’s BUILD Conference! Ready to get your hands muddy? In this short 2-part article series, we talk about how to get started towards writing data-driven (specifically OData) Windows 8 Metro apps with XAML & C#. Here’s what we’ll cover:
- Part 1 – Handling of OData from our XAML Metro App [Consumption & Updates to OData source]
- Part 2 – How to make your XAML App a well-behaved Windows 8 citizen [Artwork, Snapped Views, Contracts, Application Bar etc]
Cheers SilverlightShow!

Hi Sami,
I’ve downloaded your code and tried to run, but unable to run due to the errors,
First Error I got Import error then I’ve chenage cs.proj v1 to v11 and loaded successfully when I am trying to run I am getting mismatch error.
I am using Win8 Cosumer Preview and Visual Studio 11 Beta.
The error is
There was a mismatch between the processor architechture of the project. Please send me the working version.

Rama,
The sample code is based on Windows 8 Developer Preview & VS 11 Preview, both of which have been replaced with newer versions. So, I will not be surprised if it doesn’t compile. Please start with a fresh VS 11 Beta project; most of the code should be reusable.
Also, try this article for consuming OData in Windows 8 Metro apps: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/phaniraj/archive/2012/04/26/developing-windows-8-metro-style-applications-that-consume-odata.aspx
Thanks!
