Tile in WP7

Tile is a unique feature of WP7. after entering the WP7 system, you can see small blocks on the desktop, which are also called tiles.

I think there are actually someProgram. However, unlike the PC shortcut, it can be dynamically updated, multiple tile can be created for an application, and different interfaces can be clicked.

There are two types: Application tiles and secondary tiles.

There are three ways to operate tile:

1. Shell tile APIs .(How to: create, delete, and update tiles for Windows Phone.)

2. tile notification (Push notifications overview for Windows PhoneAndHow to: send and receive tile notifications for Windows Phone. And

WP7 push notification)

This is flexible.

3. shelltile schedule (How to: Schedule tile updates for Windows Phone.)

This feeling is not flexible enough. It can only be updated regularly according to the fixed four interval values.

4. In addition, you can specify the Default Application tiles during programming.
