Silverlight TV 14: Developing for Windows Phone 7 with Silverlight

Posted By: John Papa | Mar 15th @ 10:30 AM | 46,828 Views | 7 Comments
We're here at MIX10 where Windows Phone 7 (WP7) and Silverlight just became the best match since peanut butter and chocolate! Mike Harsh, Program Manager for the Silverlight team working on WP7, joins John Papa to demonstrate the WP7 device and the tooling used to create applications for it. Mike covers the phone, how to write a Silverlight app for it, how to run that app in the emulator, and how to deploy it to the phone. The simplicity of this demo is how easy it truly is to take your Silverlight skills and apply them to WP7 devices.

Follow us on Twitter @SilverlightTV or learn more about Silverlight with the Silverlight Training Course on Channel 9.

Any news on WCF RIA for the phone? Also what about a client side database?

Was it just me or video capture, or was scrolling on the phone itself was not that smooth?

If it is the latter then it doesn't follow WP7 UI guidelines.

Nothing is like a developer demoing a product.

Thanks Mike & John!

At the end he said "This is Silverlight 3".  Is that correct?  Which version is on the phone, 3 or 4?

No client side database. What a tradgedy. For me it kills an otherwise fantastic platform. Listen for yourself during the discussion at Live.VisitMix.com. It is the "Daily Show" webcast at 5pm on March 15th.

It's a superset of Silverlight 3. You don't get everything that's in Silverlight 4, but you get more than is in Silverlight 3.
