The last few days echoecho app for Windows Phone is featured in Windows Phone Marketplace (that means a lot of downloads). This is a great opportunity to write a bit about that – something I was planning to do for a while, but never found the time. (What else is new?) Continue reading...
This may sound trivial, but it is not. If you want to link to your (or someone else’s) application on Windows Phone Marketplace, the worst thing you can do is to copy/paste the link from your web-browser. Like this: Continue reading...
It’s really easy to vibrate a phone from your code. You can do it whenever you like, just don’t overdo it. Continue reading...
I have developed and published four Windows Phone applications up to date. Three of them are in Croatian, and the last one is in English. All of them are free. Continue reading...
To make the long story short – it is not possible to access user’s Mobile Country Code from Windows Phone Application. Not even in Mango. Continue reading...
I’ve just submitted a Mango app to the Marketplace. Of course, it is not available yet, since it has to go through the certification process, but I believe it will do just fine, since it’s so simple. Continue reading...
There are 62 different keyboard layouts supported in Windows Phone. They’re enabling a great user experience for a user, but it’s really hard to choose the best one for a developer. So I’ve prepared an overview of all available input scopes. Continue reading...
Several days ago my CroParking app finally reached the Marketplace and become the first WP7 app in Croatian language. Continue reading...
Puja Pramudya from Microsoft Innovation Center in Indonesia has written a e-book about Windows Phone application development. To tell you the truth, I haven’t read it (yet), but it seems quite good, especially for the beginners. Be aware – this is not one of that 20-page e-books, it has more than 150 pages and at the end, there are two step-by-step tutorials for developing two sample applications, from “start Visual Studio” to the final touch. Continue reading...
Aww, what a title. It’s quite simple, actually. The first thing I’ve done when I got my first WP7 device was testing it’s accelerometer. As you may know, accelerometer cannot be used in emulator (actually, there is a way, but that’s not it – I want to move some hardware around the air and rotating monitor does not work). Continue reading...
Last week I attended a (great) conference Mobility Day and organizers asked me to build a small Silverlight application for prize giveaway at the end of the day. Every participant had a number at the back of their ID card and if the wheel stopped at your number, the prize was yours. Application itself is very simple and it took me maybe an hour to build it from scratch. The important thing is that it can be run from any computer from the web, and the total number of participants can be set via URL, like this: http://demo.dizzy.hr/mobilitydaydrawing/?max=333. To use the app, first focus it and then expand to full screen with F11 key. Wheel can be started and stopped by mouse click or space key. Not really a smart application, but useful and attractive.

It is not like you have a real device in your hand, but you can get some look and feel of Windows Phone using an emulator. If you have touchscreen monitor, your experience will be much better, but that’s not a requirement. You don’t need anything else installed on your system, not even Visual Studio 2010 :-) Continue reading...
