I’m creating a live tile in a windows 8 C# XAML app. I’ve worked out that I need to use the TileUpdateManager class to get the tile template. I can also see that there are different templates for a normal tile (150×150) and the wide tile (310×150). So, how can I detect whether the user has chosen to display the normal tile or a wide tile in C# code so that I can get the relevant template?
The better approach is to supply both and the OS will work it out.
Here is a good document that outlines how to do this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsappdev/archive/2012/04/16/creating-a-great-tile-experience-part-1.aspx
