<!-- LOCALIZATION NOTE:
To localize the displayed strings copy their values to appropriately named
keys in the app's neutral language resource file (AppResources.resx) then
replace the hard-coded text value between the attributes' quotation marks
with the binding clause whose path points to that string name.
For example:
Text="{Binding Path=LocalizedResources.ApplicationTitle, Source={StaticResource LocalizedStrings}}"
This binding points to the template's string resource named "ApplicationTitle".
Adding supported languages in the Project Properties tab will create a
new resx file per language that can carry the translated values of your
UI strings. The binding in these examples will cause the value of the
attributes to be drawn from the .resx file that matches the
CurrentUICulture of the app at run time.

Paul,

I have just done this and it all appears OK apart from the "await BlobCache.UserAccount.GetObjectAsync("time");" line.

I am getting the error that the GetObjectAsync cannot be awaited?

Any ideas as to why?

Thanks, Vince

UPDATE:

No worries, sorted it...looks like the example is missing a reference to System.Reactive.Linq ??
