I have been hooked in Windows Phone from the first time I saw it. I have a LG Optimus 7 now, which I bought for about a year ago. This phone has been my primary phone (only phone) for the last year - and I still like it :)

In the summer I started searching for a danish site about Windows Phone. Apparently there wasn't any community/news site for Windows Phone users in Denmark.

So, I started it :)

In June I started a new danish community site - WindowsPhoneFan.dk

Eventhough the site is relatively new and Windows Phone isn't that know in Denmark these days, WindowsPhoneFan.dk is seeing greatly increasing trafic week by week.  It's amazing!

It's always cool when people are liking what you do, and apparently 4-500 people like the site so much that they visit it everyday - so I'm happy.

Hopefully more people will join as Windows Phone gets more known in Denmark, as right now, it's mostly the nerds knowing about it. :)

I first heard of this little "framework/engine/template/starterkit"-thing some months ago - ScriptTD.

ScriptTD is basically a template for a Tower Defense Game for Windows Phone, that you can change (pretty much actually) just by editing XML files.

The project is done in XNA and I have played around with it little now and it's really great. It's amazing how much you can change and how different you can make the game just by editing XML. ScriptTD is open source, so if you know XNA and want to make a Tower Defense Game, ScriptTD should be your starting point.

I just submittet a small game I made (with help from family members for sounds and graphics). The game is called "Frost Defense" and will be in the Marketplace in the coming weeks (I hope :) I'll write about it when it's ready to download).

So, if you want to make a Tower Defense Game for Windows Phone - you should take a look at ScriptTD at Codeplex.com.

Back in February 2011, we submitted ‘plan bee’ to a Danish Windows Phone 7 competition organized by Microsoft. The results are here now…

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!

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!
