Questions tagged [windows-phone-7]

Windows Phone is Microsoft's, now deprecated, mobile operating system and software development platform. Use this tag for questions specific to Version 7.x

Windows Phone is a mobile operating system developed by Microsoft, and is the successor to its Windows Mobile platform. Supported platforms for building applications for Windows Phone include Microsoft Silverlight for traditional applications and Microsoft XNA for games. This platform is no longer supported by Microsoft and should be considered obsolete.

Development on the Windows Phone platform is only supported in managed languages, using either Silverlight or XNA. With the 7.1 SDK update, Silverlight applications can be integrated with XNA.

Windows Phone 7 featured a new user interface, based upon Microsoft's Windows Phone design system, codenamed and commonly referred to as Modern UI (previous name was Metro). The home screen, called the "Start screen", is made up of "Live Tiles", which have been the inspiration for the Windows 8 live tiles.

NOTE: With the 7.1 SDK, the ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES capability was removed, rendering third-party support for COM interop unusable. The native (unmanaged) layer is currently only available to OEMs.
