When creating a Facebook application for Windows Phone, pretty much since the implementation of authentication, such as OAuth, is convenient to use the SDK.  Http://Facebooksdk.codeplex.com 

Previous versions are not compatible with Windows Phone 7.0, download the complete source code, open the solution file in VS for WP7, I had time to rebuild the OS version and corresponding to 7.1 the new version does not need it.

Extract the ZIP file. The 5a4279082db.bin FacebookCSharpSDK-5.3.2.0-folder, sl3-the Facebook.dll of wp folder, you can add to the references in Phone app, you can use this SDK.

Features

  • NuGet Packages Available (Facebook, FacebookWeb, FacebookWebMvc)
  • Compatible with all Facebook Graph and REST API methods.
  • Supports Facebook’s most current authentication systems.
  • Sample applications and documentation are provided to get you started quickly.
  • Compatible with the official Facebook JavaScript SDK.
  • Updated regularly with new releases about every month.


Nokia in 4D

To celebrate the launch on the new  Nokia WP7 the finish phone giant brought the Canadian techno music producer Deadmau5 (pronounced “dead mouse”), to the bank of the River Thames in London’s West End where they converted the 120-metre Millbank Tower into a huge 4d Music extravaganza.

You can see some of the action in the video below:

The Ads

Rather than tell you how great-looking and clever the new ads for Windows Phone 7 are, I thought I’dshow them instead. Here’s the first one, which features Donovan’s song, Season of the Witch:

Here’s the other one, which asks this question: “Really?” (In case you were wondering, the tune is In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg.)

The message in both these ads is pretty simple: Smartphones eat up a lot of your attention and time. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was one that didn’t do that?

There are lots of little goodies in Windows Phone 7 that address this issue. The ones I can think of off the top of my head include:

  • The lock screen. You don’t have to unlock your phone just to find out what the next appointment on your calendar is. The lock screen displays it, along with the date, time and the number of voice and text messages you have.
  • The Start page. The start page is where you pin your favourite and often-used items so you can access them quickly, so you don’t have to riffle through page after page of apps.
  • What you can pin to the Start page. You can pin more than just apps to the Start page. Is there someone – a spouse, significant other, friend or family member – whom you phone, text, or email often? Pin that person to the Start page! Is there a website you hit many times a day? Pin it to the Start page!
  • Communicating quickly with people. The People Hub on your phone makes looking up and reaching people fast and easy. Tap on a person for all the ways to reach him or her and tap on any of one of those ways to start communicating. A quick swipe shows you that person’s Facebook updates. Getting in touch and keeping up is pretty easy with this UI.
  • Finding. The context-sensitive Search button is all about finding what you need, whether it’s some information on your phone, on the web or in the real world, and you get this all from a single button press.

Microsoft is pretty committed to the consistent look and feel of Windows Phone 7, going so far as to releasing a huge 69 page Design and Interaction Guide.  To make it even easier for developers to maintain a consistent look and feel they have now released a 64 icon application bar icon set.

The package contains a set of 64 app bar icons in PNG format (32 dark and 32 light), and also contains vector versions that can be easily imported into Microsoft Expression Blend 4 Beta when using the Microsoft Expression Blend Add-in Preview for Windows Phone.

For more information on how to use these icons within your application, see How to: Add an Application Bar to Your Application on MSDN.

The Icon set can be downloaded here.
