I were just setting up some “tracking” on a Windows Phone 7 application, using PreEmptive Solutions Dotfuscator, when I got some odd problem. First I just setup all up as I use to and deployed to the WP7 emulator. Application started and shutdown right away. Hmm, I tried again and again, same thing happened. I then looked closer at the “Build Output” window in Dotfuscator and saw this at the bottom:

“Warning: The strong named input assemblies (or assembly) {Assembly name and path here } were not resigned. You will need to sign these dotfuscated assemblies manually”

I could figure out that the reason why I needed to resign it, were because dotfuscator have had a look on it – I therefore needed to figure out how to avoid it to do so.

It turns out that you can exclude assemblies inside dotfuscator, just go to the “Input” tab, expand your .xap file until you find the assembly that gives you problems, right click it and pick “Exclude assembly from Package”.

Just a little help if anybody else ends up with this problem

- Enjoy!

In February we held another Silverlight GeekNight event in the Silverlight Developers in Denmark user group. Again this time there were a great dialog between the “geeks” and everybody were helping out each other with various problems and questions.

Over the last few days I have been working on an online high score for the Windows Phone 7 game ‘plan bee’, which is done in XNA. (I guess this problem is also relevant for Silverlight applications). I had the service setup and all were good, data were flowing back and forth. To give the player a good experience when playing the game I of course started to test the game without internet connection, as this can happen on a mobile device like WP7

Then the game crashed right away and at first I just thought I forget to check for something and attached the debugger. The debugger showed me that an EndpointNotFound exception were thrown. I tried a lot of things and couldn’t figure out how I could avoid or catch this exception!

Last night we hosted our first “GeekNight” in the “Silverlight Developers in Denmark” group.
It turned out to be a big success. Well, I can’t talk for the others, but personally I think it was a big success and it seemed like the others at the event had the same experience as me.

So what is a GeekNight?
