Last Friday we held a Windows Phone 7 session in the SGdotNET user group meetup. This is one of many WP7 developer events that we will have throughout the year. We have provided below the deck and links to resources that we showed in that session. We also look forward to meeting you in RIAction tomorrow!

onoe thing comes to mind for windows phone 7.. nowadays most phones come with camera built in, most with flash (as in camera flash light) as well. I usually like to turn the flash light into a torchlight for navigating around when the surrounding is dark. How can this be done in silverlight or XNA? basic point, is .NET the only option to develop anything for Windows phone 7? Accessing the flash light and controlling it is hardware specific and depends on the make of the phone itself. Like for Samsung Omnia II, I downloaded the Samsung SDK which works with C/C++ language and used MFC to write an app to control the flash light on the phone. I think if .NET becomes the only language to use, this may be difficult, if not impossible. Can we still use C++/CLI to create mixed mode assemblies for interfacing with the underlying C/C++ style DLL or source codes while providing a seamless integration with .NET language like on desktop when it comes to phone 7?

Hi John, thanks for your question. There will be APIs accessible from both Silverlight and XNA to access hardware (i.e. sensors, etc). Microsoft is also putting strict requirements on hardware for the phone that will be consistent across different phone devices. This ensures the developer that what is created for say a Samsung WP7 will run on an LG WP7. No formal announcements have been made for that yet, but you can check out the videos in http://live.visitmix.com/ where they coded access for sensors, and a sample of hardware access in this documentation – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff43180…
