Silverlight/XNA App development section of the forum

[DMAND]

As per title,

Having never writting apps before, I thought I'd have a go at downloading Expression studio (mainly due to it being free for students )

Seems pretty easy to get the hang of and these tutorial videos to follow are pretty handy http://microsoft.com/design/toolbox, it would be nice to maybe have a section of the forum for developing apps in Silverlight

Espescially seeing as deploying apps directly to your phone in Visual Studio seems to be the only way to side load apps at the moment.

This is the right section, as soon as I can make clear that this section is not intended for general chat but actual software development questions

ok so, pulling the silverlight and xna libraries out of the emulator and cooking them into wm6.5.5 i now need a way to test if these libraries are valid.

anyone interested in compiling a simple test for these? it seems the xna game, input and core libraries are there as well as silverlight browser and ui stuff.

very interested to see how valid these libraries are if at all

Ha love this way of thinking, how to get new stuff running on old stuff.
Reminds me of this big community i have heard of.

Sorry dude but I'm very sure this won't work.

First up, the files have dependencies (namely CE7 and other core files must use the CE7 API). You can't get around this without source code.

Secondly, the files from the emulator have ARM headers but use x86 code, as far as I know.

Thanks!!

You can find a whole bunch of silverlight projects to download here http://silverlight.net/community/samples/silverlight-samples/

thinking without restricted boundaries, it may not work and i may be waaay off, but then again....it may just work lol and if not i've lost nothing.

the silverlight causes issues and i am sure there is more to xna than just the framework dll's. will be interesting to try and call functions within them and see what happens either way.
