Character combinations consisting of a backslash ( \ ) followed by a letter or by a combination of digits are called "escape sequences." To represent a newline character, single quotation mark, or certain other characters in a character constant, you must use escape sequences. An escape sequence is regarded as a single character and is therefore valid as a character constant.

In Visual Studio 2013, we have introduced new features that boost productivity and save time when working inside the Editor. Some of these are new features and some are the most popular extensions from  Productivity Power Tools . These features are a result of the feedback you gave us through  User Voice  requests, forum posts and Connect bugs. The MVP community also helped us pick some of these experiences. Our primary focus for the Editor in this version is to keep the developer in context as much as possible. This blog post describes capabilities that bring information to your fingertips and allow you to do as much as possible without leaving your place in code.

Hi Guys ... This Post is about adding an existing SQLite database file to the Windows Metro App project. As I think "using SQLite" is the best way to create local database for Windows Rt applications.Actually SQLite is very easy to learn but I really think if Microsoft SQL Server CE supports windows rt applications it will more fun. .Isnt it ?. :)

We first  heard rumors  about a possible comeback of the Start menu button in Windows 8.1 last week, but now sources speaking to  The Verge  have confirmed that this will indeed be the case, only it’s probably not what most detractors were hoping for. The newly reintroduced button will reportedly sit on the traditional bottom left corner, and will look near-identical to the existing Windows flag used in the Charm bar, but clicking on it will simply bring up the tile-based Start screen rather than the old Start menu.
