Mango Beta2…get it while it's fresh!

  • Article

The Mango Windows Phone Developer Tools Windows Phone SDK Beta2 released today (the tools have been renamed to SDK). With the beta2 release you will see some additions to the tools like the Isolated Storage Explorer, improvements to the profiler and emulator as well as numerous updates to the docs. You can get the Mango beta2 tools on the download site, and see the changes to the documentation on MSDN.

Additionally, if you are already a registered Windows Phone developer, you should get an invitation to install the Mango bits on one registered device. You can see the details of this on the Windows Phone Developer Blog.

Enjoy!

    With 500,000 Android devices activated every day and Microsoft's pending abandonment of Silverlight and .NET in favor of HTML5 and JavaScript, what's the point of Mango again?  Seriously, if WP7 is the only platform that'll still use Silverlight and .NET, how long can we expect that to last?

    I too agree, its all switching to HTML now, ado.net team released "datajs" library recently which they were making for couple of months, instead they should given us    Enum support    Spatial data type support    Stored Procedure support in Code First    Migration support in Code First    Customizable conventions in Code First this is a clear hint where other teams are going too.
