The Discussion

buzzfrog I think that the first link in the shownotes are broken.

Bas It's super frustrating that the panorama and pivot controls haven't been part of the tools since the beginning. They're so iconic of the Metro experience, what could have posessed the team to not provide them until RTM, if they even make it into the RTM?
-
gduncan411 lol... yeah, looks like the link in the show notes is to the post download URL (I get caught by this often too when I'm blogging about a MS Download post..).
Here's the main/working/real/etc URL, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3a8636bf-185f-449a-a0ce-83502b9ec0ec
And the URL to my blog post (aka the "Greg Duncan" link) where I highlighted it, http://coolthingoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/08/creating-high-performance-silverlight.html

Dan Thanks, fixed both of those links

FunCoderVik I understand the SQL CE is no longer available in windows 7. This was very usefull for business apps on Pocket PC and Older win mobile.
Are there any API's to use SQL Azure from phone appsx ? or setup sync between isolated storage and cloud storage of oofline capabilites.
Does anyone know if there is any work going on in this area.
-
Clint from an API standpoint, this is true. Other people have already come up with some ways to work around this. I haven't used them however. http://chriskoenig.net/2010/06/30/open-source-databases-for-windows-phone-7/
You can leverage Azure. Regarding syncing the data, someone may have created an API to do something like that. Depends on what type of stuff needs to be synced I'd imagine.

Clint Bas, there has been a community solution for pano / pivot almost right away. http://phone.codeplex.com/
