I am creating a WPF application in Visual Studio 2012.
Can I deploy and use this application through a touch screen environment?
Then what windows OS should I select ?
Thanks in advance.
Absolutely yes, My collegue has done a project for press reviews that runs in touch screen on Win7 Pro machine. Refer here for documentation.

I am going to create an WPF application that simualates the Coded UI Test for Windows Phone 8.1.
I created a Coded UI Test project for Windows Phone inside Visual Studio 2013 and I understood it code.
So I want to simulate this technology on my WPF application without running VS2013. I could run the Windows Phone emulator without running VS2013 by opening the XDE.exe but know I need to know how to connect to this WP emulator from my WPF application?
So how can I do it, please help me. Thank you so much!.
I deployed my WPF application on windows server 2008 and its working fine when i started using of it. But after some time i'm facing so many problems with my app like its freezing some windows/controls and some windows only minimize, maximize and close buttons are working and in some windows some controls only working, any one help me please to get out of this.
Thanks,

In a server environment, you should deactivate Hardware rendering, as most servers have only very limited GPU performance. See this link, item 6, on how to set this. Please report after ensuring software rendering is enabled.
I tried an app I wrote that works on Win7 boxes. Using the Win8 Preview, IE just asks to rerun Silverlight Install. Same thing happens on the PlanetX demo game from the Silverlight site. Is there a trick to get the Win8 Preview to run it or is it true Silverlight is getting killed off for HTML5/Script (yuckkk!!##$) If this is not true then MS needs to speak up LOUDLY. Writers are all over the Web with a Silverlight is dead/legacy story. Somebody please tell me now so I can cut my losses if I need to.

You can run Silverlight apps just fine on the Windows 8 preview. The Metro version of IE supports no plug-ins - not Silverlight, not Flash, not anything else. Just drop into the desktop (for example, click the Windows Explorer icon) and launch the non-metro version of IE. Silverlight will work fine. You can even install out of browser (OOB) applications and a launch tile will appear for them on the Metro start page.
This might be a dumb question but I've been developing for a while and I still can't figure this out. Sometimes when I download samples for WP7 applications it shades out the "run application". I can build it and it succeeds but I can't run it. Anyone know how I can run these samples?
The sample I'm looking at is the "Farseer Physics Engine 3.3.1 Samples XNA" at http://farseerphysics.codeplex.com/releases/view/64108.
The WP7 project hasn't been set as the default one. In the Solution Explorer, right-click on Samples XNA WP7 and click Set as Startup Project. You should then be able to deploy.
Edit - If you find that you can't deploy because you get:
The application could not be launched for debugging. Verify that the
application is installed on the target device.
go to Properties...Configuration Settings and make sure Build and Deploy are both checked
In the device dropdown is Windows Phone Emulator or Windows Phone Device selected?
Sometimes with samples that dropdown will have neither selected and therefore can not run until one is selected.
I would like to customize the user install process for my Silverlight application. I would need to repeatedly go through the installation process on my development workstation Short of uninstalling before each change I make and going through the install process again, is there a way to make my browser think Silverlight is not installed?
Yes, there is a way to make your browser think SL is not installed.
In Internet Explorer 8, I can go to Tools > Manage Add-ons. From there, I select to Show "All add-ons." I then click on Microsoft Silverlight and click "Disable."
I saw Tim Heuer do this process to demonstrate the look of Silverlight being uninstalled in an application.
I imagine there's a way to disable plug-ins, add-ons, extensions, etc. for other browsers.
You could set up a Virtual PC or Virtual Box instance and keep resetting it to a "before Silverlight was installed" snapshot.
