I started work with “Xaml-based” platforms in the pre-Beta days of WPF, so I’ve been working with this technology longer than most. Back then I was utterly awed and inspired by it’s capabilities. Today I’m frustrated and sometimes outraged. As I’ve traveled to various...

What Happened To Me I’d say that 2011 was a pretty good year for me as a .NET open source developer. After all, Caliburn.Micro had it’s first official release in April 2011 just in time for the Mix Open Source fest. At the festival, the framework had a great showing. I had tons of people...

One of the major new ‘features’ of WP7 Mango is the addition of SQL CE 3.5 support. Prior to Mango CE was loaded on the phone but 3rd party applications (the ones you and I write) were not able to access it. With Mango this has all changed and CE is not a full first class citizen. If...

As I am learning how to use SQL Ce which is available inside of WP7 mango I came across the following exception. This exception came from the following Linq statement var episodesWithTags = ( from e in dimecastsDataContext.Episodes where e.EpisodeTags.Count( x => x.TagName == "Something...

One of the biggest complaints (from myself and others) about V1 of WP7 was the total and complete lack of a built in database (although v1 of WP7 did have SQL CE on the device but developers did not have access to use it). When I say there was no built in database don’t misread that to say there...
-
As I am in the process of rebuilding my Dimecasts.net WP7 application from the ground up to work with WP7 Mango one of the things I wanted to do was fully use the Caliburn.Micro framework. Caliburn.Micro has its own built in IoC container called the PhoneContainer which provides basic Dependency Injection...
-
*** UPDATE: Turns out the is expected as Caliburn will create its own instance of the PhoneApplicationService for you. Also when using Caliburn.Micro make sure that your App.xaml.cs is empty as Caliburn.Micro has better facilities for handling all these actions. *** Today when I was kicking off...

In version 1.0 we had pretty good support for building apps for WP7, but in v1.1 we’ve taken things up a notch. Let’s look at the same HelloWP7 sample that we did previously , but see how it’s been updated to take advantage of our improved tombstoning, launcher/chooser support and strongly...

In Caliburn.Micro we have a series of supporting services for building presentation tiers. Among them is the EventAggregator, a service which supports in-process publish/subscribe. There are various implementations of this pattern available in other frameworks, but I think you’ll find that Caliburn...

Ok, now that I have your attention, it is time to get your mind out of the gutter and back on the topic at hand. When you are building out native mobile applications you are undoubtedly going to communicate to some sort of back end server via some sort of Web Service (say WCF for example if building...
