Have you ever wanted to display a preview of your live tile in your app's settings page, so the user can instantly see how your various settings will affect their live tile?
Introducing the PreviewTile control! The PreviewTile is a XAML control that replicates the Start tiles, and fully supports displaying adaptive tile notifications. This is the same control that we use in the Notifications Visualizer.
Using the PreviewTile control is simple. The API's to update properties and send notifications are very similar to the API's you already use for the actual live tiles.
