Hi,
Sorry to be bothering you with this rudimentary question, but I am fairly new in programming, so seeking some help in this.
In my WP8.1 RT project, I am trying to implement a listview that displays a list of countries. (For now) I have a three page setup: P1 has a hyperlink button that takes you to P2, that has a listview (with which I'd be binding the list of all countries), which, when selected, takes you to p3, that has it's own stuffs going on there. I would like your help in determining a few things..
1. Is it ok to have the list of the counties hard-coded (i know it is exhausting to even think of it) to the listview, for an app that has a very minimal use (say a social networking stuff)?
2. If not, do you prefer I have the names of the countries in a Model (MVVM setup), say in a .cs file, and have that exposed to the XAML? - This Ive tried and has worked, but not very well.
3. If not that also, do you prefer I have them listed in an XML file and parse through them? - This, I haven't tried, and would need some guidance.
4. What'd be the convenient way of accomplishing this: p1 (hyperlink button) -> p2 (shows a list of countries; makes a selection) -> P3 (it's own stuffs)?
Oh, another thing: The reason I need the listview is because I need to implement the semantic zoom feature to display the countries.
Thank you for your help in advance

No help here.

Even in Europe new countries appear relatively seldom.

I decided to look that up, cos I didn't know.
Since 1990 there have been 34 new countries.
The break up of the Soviet Union led to the creation of 15 of them.
The break up of Yugoslavia created 5 more, then one of those later fractured into 3 more.
Czechoslovakia split into 2.
Germany unified.
In the rest of the world;
Namibia gained independence from South Africa, North & South Yemen unified, The Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau all gained independence from the US, Eritrea seceded from Ethiopia, East Timor became independent from Indonesia, and in 2011 South Sudan seceded from Sudan.
According to the source I found (which may not have been updated since 2011), there have been no new countries since 2011.

UK devs up down the land voted Conservative because they didn't want to re-write their dropdown code to include Scotland.

Surely Scotland is already a country, and so is Wales. They're just not nations.
Terminology is somewhat hazy here I think. When visiting the US I always put "England" as my country of birth (because that's where I was born) but the official usually changes it to "UK". It seems they don't really want to know which country I was born in, or they think they know better than I do.
I once heard someone say on a US TV programme that he had bought his artisan kitchen tiles from a company in "North Wales, England"!

Lets see it then. If that's good and no one gets this one correct then I could declare you as the winner.

First and foremost I consider this as (CCC)^2.
"Leader to go glamorous: Initially gaining almost a pound" - That's dreamy! (8)
Leader = King
To go glamorous --> Topless
So
Leader to go glamorous = ing
gaining almost a pound = "relax" makes you gain weight
Initially ---> At the start .
Hence
RELAXING
dreamy is relaxing

Super

Just saw it. Just could not go in that direction.
My solution was also dreamy

quixotic
glamorous - exotic
leader to go, get rid of the e
a pound - quid
almost - qui
initially gaining - stick it at the front
quixotic - dreamy
