CODE SAMPLE for this VIDEO

Live tiles are one of the most compelling features of Windows Phone. Now in Windows Phone 7.5, we have support for 'secondary' live tiles.

This means that your application can enable the user to configure more than one live tile for your application. This is extremely cool, because now users can create a specific tile for any of the different types of operations or different types of content which your application manages.

Please let us know if you have any questions!
