[dba-VB] Localizing Silverlight Business Application

Hi Shamil

Your apps cannot get direct access to the phone - it's a locked down environment. That's both a challenge and a kind of protection for the apps.
"The Full Stack" - a series of five how-to videos - is for viewing/download here:

Also, did you download the free monster book:

Programming Windows Phone 7

I haven't had time for more than a quick peruse ...

I don't know how the Office apps are built. Good question, by the way.
As for the multitasking, I don't know, I think not even MS has decided where to go at what pace.

Hi Gustav --

Thank you for your reply.

Do Silverlight apps get installed on the Windows Phone 7 as standalone apps?
I didn't know that - and if so they are running in a "sandbox" with all the
data (and files) available from Internet only?
I guess IE and MS Office are implemented on Windows Phone 7 XNA or some
other (unknown) kinds of apps? Or as Silverlight apps?

Have you seen/heard that that "custom apps multi-tasking" will get soon
supported on Windows Phone 7 by a near future Windows Phone 7
upgrade/service pack?

<<<
It's a pleasure to work with.

Do you mean to "play with"? :)

Thank you.

Hi Shamil

Third-party apps means everything you install on the phone, including your
own apps.

As I understand it, the question is what apps do when you browse away from
them? Do they pause/sleep, unload, or keep running?

The review is correct. The IE Phone Edition is amazing. The Office apps are
a little limited but who expects a full Office package on a phone. Not me.

Also, the UI design is top notch. Very clean and well designed. It's a
pleasure to work with.
