KMil 16 days, 5 hours, 47 minutes ago

In this article, you will see how to define multiple modules that can communicate with each other through a combination of CompositeCommands and Prism events. CompositeCommands let you have handlers registered or unregistered in a loosely coupled fashion, and allows you to have multiple handlers (child commands) that will be used by the CompositeCommand.

The new OS 7.5 have made Sockets available to developers, opening the way to a wide series of applications that uses this low-level communication way.

Windows Phone 7 – Browsing your Photos via Bing Maps | Colin Eberhardt's Adventures in .NET

published 23 days, 42 minutes ago posted by

FantasticMrFish 25 days, 4 hours, 6 minutes ago

The Windows Phone 7 camera gives you the option to record the location where a picture was taken (under Settings => applications => pictures+camera). With this feature turned on, each application has their latitude, longitude and altitude stored as part of the standard EXIF data. I thought it would be fun to combine the previous blog post I wrote on pushpin clustering with the photos on my camera, to allow me to explore them via a Bing Maps control.

Windows Phone 7.5 - Using advanced tiles API

published 30 days, 21 hours, 14 minutes ago posted by

KMil 32 days, 3 hours, 55 minutes ago

There is not any doubt, the first thing you meet when you use Windows Phone are the tiles. These are the large squares on the home screen that identifies some applications and they are also a distinguishable character that make your Windows Phone unique. As you know for sure, the tiles can be attached or detached from the home screen and some particular software can take advantage of double size tiles. While this is not a feature available to developers, in OS7.5, the tiles gained new features and a new... (more)

How to create and consume WCF Service in Silverlight?

dotnetfunda 32 days, 11 hours, 56 minutes ago

In this article, we are going to learn about how to work with Services in Silverlight. Working with Services in Silverlight As we know that Silverlight (being a sandbox technology) doesn’t support working directly with ADO.NET, it implies that you can’t use ADO.NET code like SqlConnection, SqlCommand or SqlDataAdapter to connect to the database and fetch records or manipulate records. So the only option left is to interact with the services (either web or wcf). (more)
