I want to create my custom pin Start Button to win phone 7.
For example in windows phone 7 i have the button of Marketplace pinned. When i receive update the pin button shows the number of updates i received.
Another example is the calendar, when i create some appointment, these appears in pin button.
I want create something similar. I want a big pin button with some information. Any direction?
The answer to this will probably depend on whether you are targeting Mango or not.
If you are targeting v 7, you will need to look into Notifications. This MSDN article will give you some good information as a starting point.
In Mango (7.1) you can accomplish a lot more manipulation of tiles from inside your app. This MSDN article is a great start point for that.
Please note, however, that your user will need to have the application tile pinned in order to get the behaviour you are describing.
