I need a data template selector in my app. I found this blog that worked great on 7.0.
After upgrading my project to 7.1 I get “unspecified error” when setting the template.
I tried to take the sample project they publish on the blog and upgrade it to mango, and it still works. I don’t get what I do wrong, because it seems like this code is Ok for mango.
Any suggestions?

Once I installed the sdk RC, it was fixed! I guess it was an MS bug.
