Rating control in windows 8

Question

I have seen a rating control in JavaScript/HTML Project for windows 8 . BUt I couldn't see anything like that in XAML yet . :(

Any idea how to achieve rating control in windows 8 ?..

Seems like Microsoft treating XAML guys as second guys :(...

Have you tried creating one yourself? What were the problems you encountered? — svick, Apr 05 '12 at 07:07
I am trying to create one user control right now. because of I am newbie to xaml and most of the samples got from net not work in metro, everything going wrong — Null Pointer, Apr 05 '12 at 07:23
You could try to port rating control from Silverlight Toolkit. I ported TransitioningContentControl successfully, so it shouldn't be too hard. Or you could wait till Metro XAML Toolkit is available. — Denis, Apr 05 '12 at 20:22

There is also a ratings control in Callisto

Example code that shows 3 our of 5 stars lit up:

<callisto:Rating
    Value="3" ItemCount="5"
    Background="Transparent" Foreground="Gold" />

App promo project is good for user ratings in Windows/WP. I was searching for more than a day and now I am happy to use and share app promo.

Regarding App promo : App Promo is a tiny control library for Windows Phone and Windows 8. It has a RateReminder control to solve rating problems.

I ported an open source control for displaying ratings with stars from WPF.

Maybe you can start from there, or find it useful.

It is not working... No matter the value is.. but the color of stars does not change – Jayant Varshney Jan 17 '13 at 04:56
It's been written and tested for the preview version of the Windows... You might want to check the code and the discussions on CodePlex for some edits... – Igor Ralic Jan 17 '13 at 12:54
@bendewey that's been answered on May 2012, while Windows 8 was in preview, and it worked then. I said that in the comments. – Igor Ralic May 31 '13 at 10:43
