Windows 8 is out and now is the great time to start building your Windows 8 app. If you never had time to go through tidbits of app development before here is what you need to know before you take a plunge. 

Remember that Windows 8 comes in two flavors:

Windows 8 – Runs on Intel processors just like your Windows 7 and will also run most of your Win 7 applications too.

Windows RT – Similar to Windows 8 in look and feel but runs on ARM processors just like most smart phones and tablets, and it will NOT run any of your Windows 7 apps.

Using a DataTable object in stored procedure parameter is not a well known practice and most developers are not familiar with this concept, but anyways it's a useful technique. 

A key point here is operations on data is performed on server (or on client) and whole data structure (DataTable) is passed to SQL server. This is especially important in case of data grid operations.

Following is the code snippet to achieve this.

 What is the Metro Style UI ?

Metro style apps are full screen apps tailored to your users’ needs, tailored to the device they run on, tailored for touch interaction, and tailored to the Windows user interface. Windows helps you interact with your users, and your users interact with your app.

See the video of Jensen Harris, Director of Program Management, Windows User Experience talks about major characteristics of UI of the Metro style apps.
