Network Programming in .NET

Just having a look at the Windows Phone SDK, and my first app, as always is “Hello World”

Here’s the Xaml below;

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
x:Class=”WindowsPhoneApplication.MainPage”
xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation&#8221;
xmlns:x=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml&#8221;
xmlns:phone=”clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone”
xmlns:shell=”clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.Phone”
xmlns:d=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008&#8243;

mc:Ignorable=”d” d:DesignWidth=”480″ d:DesignHeight=”696″
FontFamily=”{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}”
FontSize=”{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeNormal}”
Foreground=”{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}”
SupportedOrientations=”Portrait” Orientation=”Portrait”
shell:SystemTray.IsVisible=”True”>

<!–LayoutRoot is the root grid where all page content is placed–>
<Grid x:Name=”LayoutRoot” Background=”Transparent”>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height=”Auto”/>
<RowDefinition Height=”*”/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<!–TitlePanel contains the name of the application and page title–>
<StackPanel x:Name=”TitlePanel” Grid.Row=”0″ Margin=”12,17,0,28″>
<TextBlock x:Name=”ApplicationTitle” Text=”Hello World” Style=”{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}”/>
<TextBlock x:Name=”PageTitle” Text=”Hi!” Margin=”9,-7,0,0″ Style=”{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle1Style}”/>
</StackPanel>

<!–ContentPanel – place additional content here–>
<Grid x:Name=”ContentPanel” Grid.Row=”1″ Margin=”12,0,12,0″></Grid>
</Grid>

<!–Sample code showing usage of ApplicationBar–>
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>
<shell:ApplicationBar IsVisible=”True” IsMenuEnabled=”True”>
<shell:ApplicationBarIconButton IconUri=”/Images/appbar_button1.png” Text=”Button 1″/>
<shell:ApplicationBarIconButton IconUri=”/Images/appbar_button2.png” Text=”Button 2″/>
<shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
<shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text=”MenuItem 1″/>
<shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text=”MenuItem 2″/>
</shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
</shell:ApplicationBar>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>

</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>
