[APP](UK only) Hot UK Deals for WM v1.0.1, & v2.0.0 alpha

[finlay666]

I'm developing an app to allow users to query HUKD from their mobile (over using the mobile website as a quicker and should be less bandwidth intensive & skin to windows mobile also)

.Net 3.5 Compact Framework is required for all releases

Cool thanks

I need to sort out how I am going to show the results (the request/receive should be done tonight) then it's into beta and I'll try to figure out how to make a cab then get it sent out

A quick update

The search page is done (I'm going to add a search field after the first release, want to get a working product out first) and I am sorting out the data at processing it currently (when you click on an item it loads a new page with more info on it then you can open in a mobile bowser or go back to the results)

[finlay666]

I'm ALMOST there guys, I have got to sort out the xml still and embed a browser in a new window to show more details on a deal... or I will sort out my own way around it

And another teaser screenshot, I have added support for tags (The search function works great right now, does all the filtering correctly.... BUT I am dealing with the returned XML currently)

Unfortunately you can only use 2 words as anything non alphanumeric is converted to '-' or the API wont recognise it but i'm working around it so you can use as many tags as you want (Just fixed this actually)

So I have the returned data to sort then it should be go I am going to add a 3rd screen where you can get more details on an individual deal (and load in an image of the product)

That is on a 240x400 screen so an Omnia should be fine

If anyone has dealt with DataSets and how to organise it in a ListView please let me know, I'm trying to deal with it right now and it's a PITA as I haven't used it before

HUKD 4 WM Cab Installer:
http://rapidshare.com/files/27401551...sInstaller.CAB

(Installer is a bit hobbled right now, need to load from program files>HotUKDeals on the device memory, will work on this to fix)

Known issues:
Speed (will work on next fix)
Bandwidth (will work on in next fix due to large numbers of results)
Installer fixes needed, so the registry is properly added, can access from the programs menu instead of having to navigate to the folder
Add an uninstaller (atm just delete the file)

Please link to this thread instead of hotlinking if you wish to share with others please

v1.0.1
Changes:
- Fixed installer (app shows up in programs menu as HotUKDeals (with the icon )

- Slight redesign of results menu (the description at the bottom only shows when you have selected a deal
