Hello,
Main issue:
I have an issue with the xamTiles control. It seems if a pop-up is displayed (not sure it's limited to this, but that's what I can reproduce so far), the tiles are not populated with the correct content. I included a sample project showing the problem. I have content set to a control during maximized mode, then a different, thumb-nail like control when minimized-expanded. when i change the maximized tile, the content is replaced with the minimized-expanded tile fine (usually). however, if a pop-up occurs during this transition, the data in the minimized-expanded tile is not set to my "thumb" content, it stays the maximized content. then clicking any other tile minimzed, expander etc stuff will allow it to refresh, but my customer won't like this at all
Also, I did notice that:
All of the tiles except for the maximized tile should be green. However, when started, usually one of the tiles is white. Clicking Expand or maximizing other tiles sometimes fixes this, and they are all green, but not always. There seems to be an issue with this even when the message box in Tile 7 Thumb Loaded is commented out.
I need a fix for this quickly to keep customers happy! Please keep me in the loop!
Anyone? I need a fix for this soon!
I have submitted a bug for this and asked developer support to link it so you get notified when it gets resolved.
Hello treehan,

Please let me know if you need more information.
I took a look at the sample app and the problem stems from the re-use of singletoon instances of your thumb controls. You can easily fix it by setting x:Shared to false on each control so that each use gets its own copy. E.g.:
<local:UserControl1Thumb x:Key="UserControl1Thumb" x:Shared="false"/> <local:UserControl2Thumb x:Key="UserControl2Thumb" x:Shared="false"/> <local:UserControl3Thumb x:Key="UserControl3Thumb" x:Shared="false"/> <local:UserControl7Thumb x:Key="UserControl7Thumb" x:Shared="false"/>
This didn't fix the main problem. It seems it did fix the problem with some of the tiles appearing white when first started, but clearly the pop-up is still not allowing the correct data when minimized-expanded. I included the sample project with x:Shared="false" in it, and the problem still exists. This is my main issue, and it is still not working. That is, when you run the sample program:
Maximize "Tile 5". Then maximize any other tile. Notice the content of Tile 5 did not change to the correct content, it is the same as when it was maximized. Content IS set correctly when you do anything else, such as re-size the window, expand/minimize a different tile etc.
