Create Windows Phone Application

Windows Phone applications are created using C# language on .NET platform 4.0 or above. Simply you must have Visual Studio 2010 service pack 1 installed on your system, if not you can find it fromHere. This down loader will install Windows Phone SDK along with Visual Studio Express limited for Windows phone development. Along with the SDK the Emulator for testing your apps live will also be installed for which you required at-least 2 GB memory. Once you have configured all the setup you are ready to build your first Windows Phone application.

Open Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone and click > File from the menu. Then new Project > Silverlight for Windows Phone .

Now here you can select different type of controls offered by Windows Phone, it includes Panorama, Pivot and simple application. Here how it looks like.

Give the name and location and then press OK. You will see this design view of your first application.

here you can see 2 blocks divided, one is the phone showing the Windows phone and second on the right side is the Silver light code (XAML) generated when you make changes on the phone design by dragging controls from toolbar to the phone. Toolbar is on the left side having common controls . Using these controls you can develop a Windows Phone application. In further posts i will be telling you how you can create a working simple app using XAML and C# code so stay tune and queries you can post comments below.
