This is my first foray into Windows Phone 7 development and Silverlight. I have to say that although this is an extremely simple project, it was also very easy to write. In all, I must have invested a couple of hours figuring out how to use the Grid to place the buttons and then it was a simple matter of ripping some of my old native code.
Using VS2010 Express was a bit of a mixed experience because although it does look nice (very nice indeed), the whole experience feels a bit sluggish. The code editor is not as responsive as VS2008 (which is a tad slower than VS2005's).
I'm sharing this code here because this is the start of a (hopefully short) learning experience. Although I'm not new to mobile development, this Silverlight stuff is very new to me (has some similarities to the ASP.NET development experience). I expect to publish here often to share my experiences with this new platform in the hope that it will help some of you that are in the same path.
Let the journey begin!
