Techfriday: Looping Panorama for Windows Phone 7 Series

Just a quick note:  I’m sure MS will be providing controls to this interface in the future so we don’t have to spend too much time building these controls ourselves This post, as with the previous one, was meant more as an Expression Blend Exercise for myself to be explore the features [...]

Panoramic Navigation on Windows Phone 7 with No Code!

I was reading through the UI Design and Interaction Guide for Windows Phone 7 Series and found out that there is currently no panoramic application template or control provided as part of the standard application platform. Nothing stops us from creating our own though.

To make things easier, I’ve made a behavior library for [...]

Consuming data from Nimbus Using LinqToXML (Updated) on iPhone + WP7!
