Windows Phone StandardTileData.BackContent

… just a quick heads up if you get an error that looks something like this when creating a pinned tile for windows phone:

at Microsoft.Phone.Shell.ShellTile.Create(Uri navigationUri, ShellTileData initialData)

The issue is that the BackContent property is set to a string with more than 500 characters.
