On some new Windows Phone devices, the navigation bar (with 3 buttons: back, home, search) will be contained on screen, instead 3 hardware buttons at the bottom of the device (old version).
How can I detect a device using software or hardware navigation bar (C#)?
I'm afraid it's still not in the API Reference for Windows Phone 8, and even it has not been updated for Windows Phone 8.1 too since the release.

I am working on a project in which it is required to add capabilities to a website by which a user can pin the site to the start screen of Windows 8.1.
This can be done by adding some "meta" tags in the head section of the HTML page.
I just have one question whether large tiles are supported on Windows 8.1 Tablet or not.
It is stated here that large tiles are not supported on Windows Phone. Does this mean that large tiles are supported on Windows 8.1 Tablet or not?
Yes you can have live tiles for your website and they will work on windows phone. Scott Hanselman wrote a nice blogpost on how this can be achieved.
Update:
Yes large tiles are supported on Windows 8.1 i.e. a tablet. You can see it when you pin hanselmans or my blog to the start menu.

i want to implement Navigation Drawer in windows phone 8. i found a project called Drawer Layout that implements Navigation Drawer in windows phone but it is compatible with windows phone 8.1 not 8. is it possible to port this project to windows phone 8?
Kai Brummund inspired me. Here's a port of Drawer Layout for Windows Phone 8 -> https://github.com/jgannaway/windows-phone-navigation-drawer.
Note, I haven't tested this rigorously, just made sure it compiled and ran on an actual device.
I also very much like the Drawer Layout for Windows Phone 8 at https://github.com/amarmesic/windows-phone-navigation-drawer, however, I can't seem to find out how to make the drawer open from right to left, not left to right as per the default.
Anybody got some ideas?

I have created a mobile website using Oracle's ADF. When I view it on Internet Explorer 10 (Windows Phone 8) website just shows a blank page.
When I change the Website Preference on IE10(Windows Phone 8) to Desktop Version, the mobile site works perfectly, But when i change Website Preference back to Mobile Version the website shows a blank/white page.
Any reasons for this? How will i be able to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
In my windows phone app, I have a textbox which has to be displayed when certain conditions are met. If not, it should behave like Visibility.Gone in Android.
How should I do that in a windows phone app?
The corresponding visibility on the WinPhone platform is Visiblity.Collapsed
Visiblity.Collapsed in Windows is same as Visibility.Gone in Android. In windows Elements that have a Visibility value of Collapsed do not occupy any layout space and there is nothing which is equivalent to Visibility.InVisible of Android
