Source code of apps in windows8

Question

I want to develop a metro style application using c# and xaml.In windows 8 there are many default apps like maps,weather etc. Is there any way to get the source code for maps or weather app in windows 8? Please help me.

Answer 1

All the Windows Store apps are installed to

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps 

where you can look at them. The JavaScript apps are readable without problems, you need to decompile the C# apps to get to their source code. You can use tools like JustDecompile from Telerik (free).For more info see this article by Justin Angel http://justinangel.net/ReverseEngineerWin8Apps
