The following code samples demonstrate concepts that are fundamental to Windows Phone application development.
 | Download C# | VB | Execution Model Sample On Windows Phone , only one application runs in the foreground at a time. When the user navigates away from an application, it is typically put into a dormant state which is automatically resumed when the user returns. However, it is possible for an application to be tombstoned or terminated after the user navigates away. This sample illustrates a technique for preserving and restoring UI and application state as the application is activated and deactivated by the operating system. For more information, see Execution Model Overview for Windows Phone. Updated 9/2011 |

These articles introduce the basics for creating Windows Phone applications, from “Hello World” to phone sensors. They include samples, code snippets, and videos all presented in a prescribed order like the chapters of a book.
To view the Quick Starts, see Windows Phone Development Quick Starts.
The Windows Phone Training Kit for Windows Phone 7.5 release includes scenario based hands-on-labs that demonstrate individual usage of individual features plus the integration of all these features coming together to accomplish a real-world task. The training kit’s “To-do” application demonstrates local database, multi-tasking, reminders, and fast application switching support coming together to implement a semi-functional task management application.
To view the training kit, see Windows Phone Training Kit.
Using a Local Database in a “To-do” Application
This hands-on-lab will show you how to use SQL Compact Edition (SQL CE) to build a task management (“To-do”) application. You will first learn how to apply the right attributes to an existing object model so that the DataContext class can create a relational database with keys and constraints. You will also learn how to query the database using LINQ-to-SQL.
Using the Background Transfer Service in a “To-do” Application
This hands-on-lab will show you how to use BackgroundTransferService to transfer (upload and download) data between your Windows Phone Application and the internet. Using the new multi-tasking capabilities in Windows Phone 7.5, BackgroundTransferService can transfer files even when your application is not running. This lab will show you how to schedule transfers, query their progress, and manage your download queue. The transfers are doing back-up and restore of the SQL CE database in the “To-do” scenario-based sample.
Fast Application Switching in a “To-do” application
Fast Application Switching (FAS) allows for applications to stay dormant (in-memory) after deactivation to get a very responsive time when the user navigates back to the application. By detecting whether your application is being activated from dormant state instead of a tombstoned state you can optimize your application to have immediate resume times. This lab will show you how to use the ActivatedEventArgs parameter in the application life-cycle events to the test if our “To-do” application instance was preserved using FAS.
Creating Reminders in the “To-do” application
Scheduling notifications that trigger even when your application is not in the foreground is a critical multi-tasking task for some apps, like alarm clocks, calendaring, and birthday apps. This lab uses the new ScheduledActionService to create and manage reminders to a “To-do” application. The application will also show you how deep linking works when the user clicks on a reminder and that launches your application to an actionable page with context from the reminder.
