Windows Phone development (2): self-confidence

PreviousArticle.

 

I. What equipment do we have.

After vs learning edition for WP is installed, it is also installed together with the SDK. You do not have to install JDK, download IDE, and install SDK and Eclipse plug-ins like android. The WP development environment can be installed with one click.

 

1. simulator.

This is important. What should we do if we do not have a ready-made WP mobile phone? The simulator helps me solve this problem. We can develop WP applications without buying WP mobile phones. What's more, it is impossible for us to run on real mobile phones at any time, and debugging is not convenient.

One method is to start the simulator independently, and the other is to start the simulator through.

Start-allProgram-Windows Phone SDK version-Windows Phone emulator (ZH-HANT )".

 

We can use the mouse to simulate real mobile phone operations.

 

 

2. Express blend for Windows Phone.

This guy is also free of charge. Of course, if you need a full blend feature, such as the ability to design WPF, Silverlight UI, and other features, you will be charged.

This tool is a friendly interface design tool that helps us quickly and conveniently design beautiful user interfaces, let's start blend.

 

The following is the blend operation interface.

 

With this tool, you can easily design a beautiful interface. It also has the animation production function. Of course, it is different from Flash animation, but it is not as flexible as flash, however, application development is already very powerful. At least other development platforms such as Android do not have such excellent tools.

However, this tool is not the main tool. It can be used as an auxiliary tool. We know that the mobile phone screen is different from the PC screen, and it is relatively small. We just need to make a proper design, if it takes too much time, it will reduce the user experience. It is best to keep theme consistent with the system, so that users do not feel a little strange.

 

3. Visual Studio express 2010 for Windows Phone.

I believe everyone is familiar with this. This is also the most important tool for developing WP mobile apps. Almost all of our work will be done on vs, so it is not necessary to introduce it too much here.

 

 

Ii. Initial test.

After talking about this, you haven't entered development-related content. Okay, start Vs and create a new Windows Phone application.

 

Then select the system version. The default value is 7.1. Let's select 7.0 first.

 

 

After creating a project, we found many very familiar things. On the left side is the design-time form, and on the right side is the XAML Source view. If you have done WPF or Silverlight development, you must be very friendly. That is to say, we don't need to spend a lot of time learning new knowledge for WP development. We can use Silverlight-related technologies to complete WP application development.

 

Locate the two textblocks In the first stackpanel and change their text attributes.

 

To run the program, press F5 and we can see that the simulator is automatically started and initialization starts. Haha, is it found that the simulator startup speed of WP is n times faster than that of Android simulator.

 

Now, let's blow it here today. Next time, let's blow it.
