This post assumes you’ve gone through the process of setting up the permissions for a Facebook app and getting your user to log into Facebook through your app. In short, it assumes you’ve walked through this tutorial. For this tutorial, I’ve re-jiggered the code into a more formal MVVM structure. I’m using MVVM Light because…
UPDATE: This tutorial will no longer work. I’ve updated it (as of late July 2012) at my new blog 25 New Things as my first “new thing” . So, you want to use Facebook to sign into something or in some way integrate Facebook with your Windows Phone 7 app. You are in luck because it…
This is really fast but it took me a while to figure out. I was getting the following on my recent project when I tried to save something using IsolatedStorageSettings: “Operation not permitted on IsolatedStorageFileStream.” And I couldn’t find anything about it other than a very generic “Looks like a threading problem” answers. Long story…
My initial concern here was to deal with tombstoning when it comes to HTTP requests, because that issue has kicked my butt on more than one account. But the second thing you’ll find here is a simple pattern for HTTP requests and responses in Windows Phone 7. Most of the .NET code I look at…

When designing a “You are here” icon for the map in ShopSavvy (download now on iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7. It’s free and super awesome), I decided to try something a little different. Because ShopSavvy is a theme-compliant application, I thought it might be fun to have the “you are here” icon be representation…
One of the things that I’ve been fascinated by since last year’s MIX conference is the motion design in place in Windows Phone 7. In a past life I worked as a video producer and I’m always stunned to see how well people respond to beautiful animations… especially in interface design. You can see this…
App bars in Windows Phone 7 are actually a pretty cool little bit of functionality. They give the user 1-4 instantly accessible options for dealing with the screen the user is on, their buttons auto-animate in, they offer “always on” funtionality that isn’t going to be hidden by the on-screen keyboard, they give designers and…
