Hi, I am Rachit and I am following your blog since last few days. It is very effective. Now i come to the database save and retrieve data in/from to database and i found some problem.
I want to save data in wp7 with sqlite but i have no knowledge about sqlite so can you define step-by-step working of the connectivity.
thanks

Sorry, but currently SQL Lite is not available for Windows Phone 7.0 although there are some IsolatedStorage modifications that work similar to SQL Lite, but I am not going to post information about them in my blog.
There will be LINQ to SQL support for Windows Phone 7.1 and you can find information about it here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202860(v=vs.92).aspx
Thanks
Добрый день.Вопрос такого плана,попробовал зарегистрироваться на AppHub ,а там нет Эстонии в списке стран- это важно? или поставить ,что-то другое и потом поменять.
Есть готовая работа ,а выложить не могу. Посоветуйте что-нибудь.
Извиняюсь, что так долго отвечал, я был в отпуске
Да, это очень важно, что Эстонии нету среди списка стран, т.к вы не сможете продавать свои приложения там. Для Эстонии и многих других стран, где нет доступа в маркетплэйс надо использовать посредников типо Appa Mundi или Yalla Apps. Там тоже надо будет зарегистрироваться и уже через них добавлять приложения. У них на сайтах есть вся необходимая информацию.
Спасибо за ответ.На всю Эстонию разработчиков наберётся десятка два,вот и не хотят возится.
Посредники хотят себе 15-20% и выводят деньги начиная с 400$ ! Даже за бесплатные проекты хотят денег. Грабёж! Отпадает желание работать.
Hi,
Can you tell me that what is the “application installation” in windows phone 7.
and where it is placed in application.
thanks in advance
Rachit
Well, there are many tutorials for consumers in the internet (for example http://windowstotal.com/how-to-install-apps-on-windows-phone-7-devices/ ).
As a developer (having Windows Phone Developer ID and unlocked device or emulator) you can deploy XAP file (“executable” file for WP7) using Visual Studio environment (probably the easiest way) or directly by using XapDeploy.exe tool.
Thanks for your reply.
Actually i am going to play a video with MediaLauncher of windows phone and it is playing any video when it saves on one of the three positions:
1. isolated storage
2. Application installation folder
3. none
i am saving my file as none but it is not running
when i think to try it with application installation folder them i am confused that where it is placed. so can you help me in this case. It will very helpful for me if you provides me some details or any reference site.
thanks in advance
