#Hololens – Some APIs will work, other no, and there is no easy way to find it :S

Hello!

It is time to begin to share some experiences developing for Hololens. This post is related to UWP Apps, general base for all devices in Windows 10 family.

While have a base common of features in all the devices, for some features is a good practice to validate if the functionalities are implemented or not in each type of device.

As well, according to the article [Dynamically detecting…

Hola !

Es momento de comenzar a compartir algunas experiencias desarrollando para Hololens. Este caso es relacionado con UWP Apps, la base general de apps para todos los devices Windows 10.

Si bien tenemos una base común de features en todos los devices, para algunas cosas es recomendable validar si las funcionalidades están implementadas o no en un tipo especial de dispositivo.

Pues bien, según…

#Channel9 – My own #Coding4fun channel (so great!)

Hi !

Long story short: I’m far far away from the Spanish and Latin America community, so this year I’ll try to learn new ways to do some remote collaboration. My first action will be create short videos (~30 minutes) in Spanish and post them in Channel 9.

So the first one is a quick tour on how to create a Windows Universal App which connect with a Bluetooth Low Energy device.

Note:I still don’t…

Hola !

Hace un tiempo escribí un post donde comenté sobre un paquete para trabajar con Twitter desde una Windows 10 Universal App. En ese post comenté también que era una pena que la excelenteTweetSharp de Daniel Crenna, no soporte Windows Universal Apps.

Ayer actualizando una app con problemas, me encuentro con TweetMoaSharp. Que es un fork de la última versión de TweetSharp y agrega…

#UWP – Single source code line to find if our app is on Desktop, #IoT, Mobile, or #XBox

Hello!

Working with Universal Apps is quite grateful. However, before the build 10.0.10240.0, trying to find out the kind of platform that our app was running was a bit complicated.

Today we can solve it with a single line of code, using AnalyticsVersionInfo. In example:

return Windows.System.Profile.AnalyticsInfo.VersionInfo.DeviceFamily;

It returns us a value of the type:

Windows.Desktop

Windo…

Hola!

Si trabajas con XAML seguramente conoces la etiqueta x:Binding, que usualmente utilizamos cuando asociamos propiedades de con vistas. Con la llegada de las Windows Universal Apps para Windows 10 tenemos una evolución de esa etiqueta x:Bind.

La utilización es muy similar. Este es el Binding que ya conocemos desde WPF

#VS2015–Windows Universal Apps in #FullScreen or #CustomSize mode

Hello!

To get to some users to use Windows Universal Apps sometimes can be a challenge. Therefore, tasks such as managing the FullScreen mode or set a specific size in a window are important stuff to add into our apps.

The following lines of code show how to change state Full Screen to normal state and define a specific size for our application.

The app running as an example in the attached…
