Question

I need to create a Windows8 application but there are multiple elements like progress bar, same app bar and other components that are been used over and over again. In previous application i have been applying these elements in every page. Is there some approach by which I can make a master page and inhert an use it in every page. As we can do in ASP.Net Master page concept?

Answer 1

You have to deal with frames :

<Page x:Name="MainPage">
  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
    <Frame x:Name="BasicLayout"/>
    <Frame x:Name="SpecificLayout"/>
  </Grid>
</Page>

Use BasicLayout to show components that are been used over and over again.
Use SpecificLayout to show your page-specific content (So you don’t directly navigate from the “master” Frame, but from the SpecificLayout one).
