You can also double click an element in the Toolbox to add it to the tile. It will contain all other elements, including other panels. First element must be a Panel: Filled Panel, Flow Panel or Scroll Flow Panel. Start dragging items from the Toolbox to the tile on the designer. For example, you can change Version to 1 in the Properties panel and the size of the layout will change appropriately to reflect the view portal for Band 1. Any time you click on the tile image in the designer (not on an element) the designer selects a Layout object and you can change its properties. You will want to use appropriate zoom level and have Properties panel visible (F4). The designer installs Band related tools to the Toolbox. Once you choose to trust the package, Visual Studio will not ask you again until you reinstall the designer. It is a standard Visual Studio warning when using project item packages.

When you add the item for the first time, you will be asked whether you trust it or not. An example of such sharing is real TileEvents project from Band SDK samples.

In simple cases like below the generated code by the designer in the parent project will be visible automatically in the shared project but in cases when TileEvent.Shared project is really shared among other projects (WP8.1 and Universal, for example) some kind of file linking needs to be established. The layout item needs to be placed in the supported project. The designer will work but it will not be able to generate the code file. There is a Visual Studio limitation, which prevents the designer from working as part of the shared projects like shown in the picture below. Then you would use Add New Item to add your custom tile layout item. Most likely it will be Universal or Windows Phone 8.1 one. Your first step would be creation of a project for your application.

Please review the TileEvents sample from Microsoft Band SDK to learn how to develop applications for the Microsoft Band.

Once installed, a developer can add a new вЂњMicrosoft Band Tile LayoutвЂќ item to a C# project, visually design the layout of as many tiles as needed and consume the generated code to easily deploy the layouts to the Band and send data updates. It does not provide its own type of project, nor does it take dependency on particular version of Microsoft Band SDK. The designer allows creation of custom tile layouts for Microsoft Band.
