Windows Phone 7 Development
-
I am a C# ASP.NET developer. I am trying to develop for Windows Mobile. I have the following questions: Could someone suggest some ideas? I have been searching forums also. 1. O/S- Compact Edition/Windows 7-Comparisons 2. VS 2010 development in C# - Will it run both in Compact&Windows 7 O/S. 3. Silverlight/WPF Support - We need rich UI 4. Free Database – upto 1 GB storage – SQL Lite/SQL Express/SQL Compact Edition(Not so sure whether it is free) 5. Zigbee commuication 6. GPRS communication to connect to windows based systems through TCP/FTP 7. Download application from the server automatically and upgrade 8. Simulators Thanks in advance K.P.Kannan

I think this answers a couple of your questions: 3. Windows Phone 7 uses a cut-down version of Silverlight (with a extra few phone-specific controls). 6. You can use the same standard TCP/IP classes as on Windows (with a few restrictions). 7. Software deployment to a phone works through the Marketplace. This provides notifications about possible updates, but doesn't seem to allow auto-update. 8. The dev software comes with a simulator, but it doesn't beat testing the software on a real device. You should be able to get more info from the Microsoft website.
