[dba-VB] Localizing Silverlight Business Application

Hi Shamil

So will I - try to watch those videos.

I'm not sure what will or may run in the background. Downloads I think and music I guess but I don't use the phone for music.
Apps don't need to unload when the user moves away - that's up to the programmer as I understand it.

I certainly didn't expect you to read the monster book in full right now! But by browsing it perhaps some info related to your questions could be found?

Thnak you, Gustav -- 

I will try to watch through "The Full Stack" video series.

Not sure I will find time to read through Charles Petzold Windows Phone 7
book, we will see.
No, I didn't get it downloaded yet.

Multi-tasking - but built-in "MS made" apps they are not working in
multi-task mode? 
Every time you switch one of them they get restarted from scratch? 
What about standard programs settings? 
They can be changed I guess? 
That above are more rhetoric questions than anything else...

Thank you.

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
by Charles Petzold
http://www.charlespetzold.com/phone/ 

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.
