From:
Michael James details an issue he had during tombstoning where a Security Exception was thrown... seems he wasn't alone, but the issue wasn't that tough to resolve either.
Michael James also has found and filed a report in Connect about a bug in the VS2010 Designer while working on a WP7 app. Check out how he got it, wat it says, and his work-around.
Joost van Schaik references the section in the App Certification Requirements about supplying essentially an about page in your app, and then goes about showing how to put one in, ussing MVVMLight of course:)
Wow... check out the JumpList control Colin Eberhardt has done... emulator video on top, video of it in action on the phone below it... very cool, and all the source.
Jesse Liberty talks you through animation on WP7 using Expression Blend this time... he did it once in code, check this out... no code!
John Papa has the latest SilverlightTV up and this time he's beginning a series of interviews with Corrina Black on WP7 design tips -- definitely ones to watch!
Levente Mihály has a collaboration between he and his wife in building a Silverlight game in Expression Blend and MVVMLigh then porting it to WP7. So this first post is concepts, designing the controls and game states... source and a demo of the game itself!
Levente Mihály also has part 2 of his game-building up... this one inserts some code in place for the pieces that Blend just wouldn't automatically do... and it ain't much!
Peter Kuhn has a tutorial up on creating a theme pack from theme files... making it easier to apply to a project and also switch at run-time... all good information... and check out the online demo of switching them!
WindowsPhoneGeek has an overview of the new Codeing4Fun Windows Phone Toolkit.... go grab it then check out the overview to get you on your way.
Daniel Egan is going to be doing a series on ISO and WP7... this first one is pretty much an intro... reading/writing... things will get deeper as he goes and probably build off this one... so don't skip it!
Stay in the 'Light!
