[dba-VB] Localizing Silverlight Business Application

Hi Shamil

The Phone Connect is only needed for running apps that stream video and the like. I have no specifics, sorry.

WP7 apps are Silverlight only for "normal" apps or XNA for games and highly graphic apps. No WinForms.

Thanks for the link. That seems relevant to study. Scott Gu is a good presenter.

Hi Gustav --

Do Silverlight 4 applications need to use Windows Phone Connect Tool or
Silverlight applications can be run locally in debug mode (with database
backend used via a Web Service as you noted).

Does Windows Phone support WinForms at all? Or all Windows Phone 7 apps run
within Silverlight "shell"? (<- Sorry that question may sound silly...) 

BTW, here is ScottGu's link blog entry on Windows Phone 7 Developers tools:

Thank you.

Hi Shamil

Well, to some degree and probably for you and me. However, for media
applications you may need the Windows Phone Connect Tool and a physical
phone as I understand it (not tested by me).

Hi Gustav --

Thank you for the additional information and the links you have provided - I
will use them for Windows Phone 7 "must have" set of links first place.

And I guess Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools do have Windows Phone 7 Device
simulator running under VS2010 when debugging/testing?


Thank you.

Hi Shamil

No, WP7 does not support databases - you set up a service for data
communication. That's one of the things I wish to check out.
As for development software, start here:
