Hello,
The samples located at http : //code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Windows-8-Modern-Style-App-Samples
do not seem to open correctly in Visual Studio 2010, 2012 or 2013. They all want to convert the project and they all fail. The root cause of the failures is the .cxitems file.
The following error has occurred during XML parsing: File:
Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Date and time formatting
sample\C++\Shared\Shared.vcxitems Line: 125 Column: 10 Error Message: The node
is neither valid nor invalid because no DTD/Schema declaration was found. The
file 'Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Date and time formatting
sample\C++\Shared\Shared.vcxitems' has failed to load.
The immediate goal is to have an proof of concept application that targets a Windows 8.1 tablet.
Many thanks!
James
