I love the buzz, Windows Phone 7 series is generating! Already there is an independent site "Windows Phone 7 Series Information Center" that is constantly updating on the new platform - including some spectacular rumors :)
The app is only available for touch screen Windows phones today. The .NET Compact Framework v3.5 is a pre-requisite for you to be able to run the application on the phone. You’d also need a phone that runs either Windows Mobile 6.1 or a Windows Mobile 6.5.
Corporate Vice President of Windows Mobile Program Management at Microsoft, Joe Belfiore, will be speaking at MIX in March. Belfiore is responsible for the overall design and product definition of the software that powers Windows Phones. A huge consumer advocate, Belfiore has led the design and development of some of Microsoft’s more consumer-friendly products, including Zune, Windows Media Center, and the user experience for Windows itself. Along with Belfiore’s keynote, eleven new Windows Phone sessions have just been added to the MIX10 agenda.
Windows Phone at MIX10!
Yes, at MIX10 you’ll learn about developing applications and games for the next generation of Windows Phone. Yes, we’ll have Phone sessions, and we can’t say more…yet. Stay tuned and check back often or join the MIX mailing list.
VERY nice! Thank you, Mix!
After building this lab from the ground up and running it successfully in three classes last week, we are now ready to publish it.
In this 108 page hands-on lab you will learn how to use Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2010 and Beta 1 of Microsoft Silverlight 4 to create a data driven line of business style rich internet application that implements many of the new features that Silverlight 4 introduces. We will base our solution on the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) RIA Services.
The solution will be an order-management system that shows a list of orders in a data grid and details of a selected order in a details pane. The system will validate user entries and have the capabilities of printing order reports and exporting order lists to Microsoft Excel.
Download the hands-on lab manual in PDF and Word format, the database and the final sample solution.
These features are implemented in the lab:
