[Getting started with WP7-1. Build a Windows Phone 7 Development Environment]

WP's development kit has been released very early, and there are a lot of related development materials. However, recently, I began to pay attention to this platform. Some friends have obtained the WP7 real machine, HTC's, promoting the powerful Touch Experience of this computer is definitely a heavyweight competitor of ip4. However, given the domestic environment, WP7 may not be introduced in the short term. Even if it is introduced, several key applications are estimated to be affected. However, I believe that there will be a solution within six months to reserve technology early.

 

Currently, there are not many Chinese documents, but a few days ago, the Chinese development website of Windows Phone 7 was launched. You can download a Chinese development lab package. From today on, we plan to complete an experiment every day to gradually understand the development process of WP7. After there is a concept, I will look for two birds to start a systematic study.

WP7 development tools have been packaged by Microsoft. You can download and install them directly, including vs2010 templates, bland for Windows Phone plug-ins, and Windows Phone 7 simulators. The components are complete and easy to install, online Web installation, more than 300 m, takes about 30 minutes to complete the installation.

Several precautions before installation are listed here:

    1. Virtual machines are not supported, including early Virtual PC and win2008 hyper-V, which is hard to understand. I have installed some components on the hyper-V virtual machine. Blend for Windows Phone cannot be installed successfully.
    2. If expression studio 4 or expression blend 4 is installed in advance, you must install expression blend 4 SP1. The development package of WP7 can be installed only after SP1. otherwise, the blend version is incorrect.
    3. If expression studio 4 or expression blend 4 is installed in advance, the WP7 development package cannot be installed. You must uninstall blend 4.
  After the installation is successful, the Start menu will add several menu items:
    • Windows Phone 7 emulator: A large Windows Phone is virtualized on the display. It is ugly. Only Internet Explorer has a square icon. (Only English can be entered, for physical and screen keyboards, You need to press {pause/break} on the keyboard to switch between them)
    • Microsoft Expression blend 4: The difference between normal blend and a new Windows Phone-related project template
    • Vistual studio 2010: A Windows Phone-related project template is also available.
  Now, we are about to start a journey...   Related materials and downloads:
