Threading in C#.Net

Thread is an independent execution path, able to run simultaneously with the other threads.When you create  a c# client program the CLR automatically creates a single thread .i.e the "main" thread.
Example:

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace threading
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Thread t = new Thread(display); //Creating a new thread.
            t.Start(); //starts the new thread
////// Simultaneously, do something on the main thread.
            for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
            {
                //Thread.Sleep(1000);
                Console.Write("rayala"+"\t"); }
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
        public static void display()
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
            { //Thread.Sleep(2000);
                Console.Write("sagar"+"\t"); }
        }
    }
}
The above example prints the "rayala" and "sagar" simultaneously.i.e two threads running parallel.Do you want to see the execution of threads uncomment the lines Thread.Sleep(1000) and Thread.Sleep(2000) in the above code.

Out Keyword in C#.Net

Out is a keyword which is used in c#. Generally a method returns only one value to where the call to the method is made. Suppose we want to return more than one value from a method , it is not possible.If we want to return more than one value from a method we use out key word . Just place the out keyword before the declaration of parameters in the method.
 Example: public int add(out int a, out int b)
{
--------
--------
}
In the above example I declared a method add(). It has two parameters a , b of integer types. Now, when the call to this method is made , then this method returns two values of integer type.
Example:
using System;

namespace Out_Keyword
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            int a, b;
            float f;
            double d;
            char c;
            string s;
            Display(out a, out b,out f,out d, out c, out s);
            Console.WriteLine(a+"\n"+b+"\n"+f+"\n"+d+"\n"+c+"\n"+s);
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
        public static void Display(out int a1,out int b1,out float f1,out double d1, out char c1,out string s1)
        {
            a1 = 5;
            b1 = 6;
            f1= 64.654783f;
            d1 = 875.339854721;
            c1 = 's';
            s1 = "sagar rayala";
     
        }
    }
}

In the above example I declared  method Display() with 6 parameters of int , float , double , char and string types.And I initialized the parameters with some values.
In the main() I declared  variables of same types declared in the Display().And I called the Display() with variables declared in the main (). The Display() returns values to the variables.

popup lightdismissal in windows store

Wrirte this code in Mainpage.xaml.
< Popup x : name = popup IsLightDismissEnabled = true >
< Popup . ChildTransitioins >
< TransitionCollection >
< PaneThemeTransition />
< /TransitionCollection >

<Border x : Name = PopupBorder Thickness = 6 Background = "#FF72A4EC"> < TextBlock x : Name = "tb" Text = "This is a popup with lightdismissal" />
 </Border>

Write this code  in Mainpage.xaml.cs.

if (!Popup.IsOpen)
                {
                    PopupBorder.Width = 658;
                    PopupBorder.Height = 100;
                    Popup.HorizontalOffset = Window.Current.Bounds.Width - 658 ;
                    Popup.VerticalOffset = 90;

settingspane in windows store apps

OPen App.xaml.cs page and follow the below steps.

First thing you should do is to add callisto reference to your app or project references node and the namespaces shown below in bold and underlined.
Then you add two usercontrols to your project. In this code I named two usercontrols  as AboutUserControl and  PrivacyPolicyUserControl.
Then add the following code which highlighted in bold underlined.
