Upgrade Metro App From Beta To RC

In my previous post Convert VS 11 Beta Metro Projects To VS 2012 RC I talked about upgrading the Project file from Beta to RC, in this post I’ll try to talk about all changes made from Beta to RC.

I don’t know all the breaking changes in JavaScript and C# but I collect all the breaking changes from the application and games I develop and I’ll show them here.

JavaScript + HTML

C# + XAML

My first suggestion is – Start a new Project, don’t try to fix all the errors because there are tons of changes, class such as “LayoutAwarePage.cs” has completely changed so just create a new project and start copying files.

But after you copy your code you will still have changes to do, starting from simple class changes to Style changes.

Below you can find a list of things that changed, just perform Find and Replace, I think 90% of the styles has changed just with “Theme” word before Brush, but some styles names also changed.
