During application development very often developers need to check how application works. Sometimes only running application on phone is needed, sometimes developer needs to check code line by line in Visual Studio in debug session. In very rare scenarios, some problems can occur, that makes testing difficulty. I think that normal Windows Phone user gets used to that after connecting phone to computer by USB some features are being disabled. User cannot browse the Marketplace, take pictures, shoot movies, etc. The same restrictions apply to the software developer who wants to check how his application works. […]

Daily work with the platform Windows Phone brings many surprises. Very often you can meet with the situation, that many things are unspoken in the documentation and the programmer must by himself discover how something works.

Using this additional option is very simple: <TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Value, StringFormat=Currency: {0:c}}"/> After this line you should see the number formatted as a currency. The result when you run this code do not fully [...]
Currently created mobile applications can not run without Internet connection. We can provide unlimited number of usage examples of data transmission in applications. We are only limited by our imagination. By implementing this type of solution in applications, we very often forget about small thing, that network check query can be performed. This tiny thing is to check, if the phone has access to the network. Getting positive information about access to the network does not guarantee us, that we will have Internet connection. This information may be used to support situations that network is unavailable. […]

It seems to me, that each developer had to create at least once before good-looking user interface. This is a rather common problem, which is a challenge for people, that have no graphic skills. Creating an icon, logos and other graphics, not enough , comes with pain and it still takes a very long time. […]
