Hi Gustav -- I'm looking here for Windows Phone 7 OS features (it's not your device - just because I have found interesting review for Win Phone 7 OS and apps on this page) http://www.amazon.com/HTC-hd7-t-mobile-htc-locked/product-reviews/B004B3KANO /ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 Here is one excerpt: "The built in applications like Office let you view/edit word documents, view/edit excel documents, view powerpoint presentations, view/edit onenote, outlook - view your email from multiple providers - hotmail, google, yahoo, any email provider - very intuitive and easy to use interface. Internet Explorer - optimized and is a really good browser now; pinch to zoom and scrolling in internet explorer works perfectly, loading pages is excellent and fast - no real faults at all with the new internet explorer. Music/Videos player is basically the zune interface - beautiful; manages all your videos and music here and if you have a zune pass you can listen to your music from right here - this works in the background too and you can play games and surf the web using this application in the background. " Sounds useful. But this is what I'm not sure I'm understanding properly: "- No multitasking for third party apps - we need the ability to multi-task and choose what we want running in the background. Some apps really do need multitasking. " What third party apps are they talking about? SIlverlight custom apps do come loaded from Internet - right? If so - once loaded they block all the other apps? Sounds strange. Or do they mean custom XNA apps? Thank you. -- Shamil Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 31 ?????? 2011 ?. 23:56 To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [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. /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 31-01-2011 19:26 >>> 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: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/09/16/windows-phone-7-developer- tools-released.aspx Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 31 ?????? 2011 ?. 21:20 To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Localizing Silverlight Business Application 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). /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 31-01-2011 19:00 >>> 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. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 31 ?????? 2011 ?. 18:08 To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Localizing Silverlight Business Application Hi Shamil No, WP7 does not support databases - you set up a service for data communication.
