Re: VS2013 Windows Phone project
Hi Ian, Stephen at al, FYI I was loaned an Intel Mac for this specific phone job, and I put Windows 8.1 and VS2013.4 on it and the phone emulator runs fine with Hyper-V. I didn't realise until a couple of days ago that Windows Phone development is such a familiar experience if you already know WPF or Silverlight. It's all familiar XAML and coding patterns and almost all of the important class libraries are available and ready-to-go. All of the phone specific stuff is nicely separated and you can reference it when you feel the need.

RE: [OT] Phone development and Hyper-V
Hi Greg, No, generally, you can’t run a VM that relies on the Hypervisor (WP8 Emulator) within a VM that relies on the Hypevisor (VMWare Player). One way to dev against WP8 from inside a VM is to use a physical device. BTW, I don’t know about VMWare Player, but VMWare Fusion allows an advanced setting called “Enable hypervisor applications in this virtual machine” which (I think) puts aside a dedicated processor on a multi-proc machine for use inside the VM and doesn’t enable the Hypervisor for the Host VM on that proc. (I could have the mechanism wrong, but the upshot is that you can run the WP8 [and, I expect, the new Android Emulator] in a Win8 VM running on OSX).

What happened yesterday with Azure?
Hi every, Yesterday Azure had a massive outage with 80% of the Azure going down world wide. At some point only the Australian, Brazil and Japan DCs were still working. http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/#history The outage took down XBox and Office 365 and of course everyone else running on Azure. There deems to be no news from Microsoft of what went wrong and why. Jeffrey Fritz gave an explanation but I'm not buying it: http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2014/11/19/fritz-azure-outage-web-sites.aspx?utm_source=twitterfeedutm_medium=twitter Anybody has any other details about this? Thanks, Corneliu.
Re: What happened yesterday with Azure?
This effected me bad, although at least it happened during our day time so I was immediately aware and could communicate to users. Not exactly sure what happened but I think it was related to Cloud Storage being down. Many of the services rely on Cloud Storage so when it is dead almost everything is dead. Things that concerned me are a) How can a problem happen simultaneously is almost every data center. Shouldn't they be isolated so that can't happen. b) They need to communicate better during outages. The status page is to slow to update and often not accurate. They need a Twitter account giving updates every 5 minutes. Craig On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 10:01 AM, Corneliu I.

Re: VS2013 Windows Phone project
Hi Andrew, you must have missed some chat earlier in the week. I didn't know that the phone simulator relied on Hyper-V, so I was taken by surprise. That's solved by being loaned a Mac running Windows 8.1 on the metal. I've previously downloaded Xamarin for evaluation and I spent hours reading their online docs and I doodled with some projects. I'm sceptical that the starter edition would satisfy my needs, as I get the impression that their forms feature in the business edition is probably the most productive way to go. However if their starter edition with expanded quotas runs in VS2013 premium then I'll give it a try -- *Greg K* On 20 November 2014 09:50, Andrew Coates (DX AUSTRALIA) andrew.coa...@microsoft.com wrote: Hi Greg It's a damn shame you can't write phone apps this pleasantly across all the brands You almost can – check out Xamarin and particularly Xamarin Forms.

Re: VS2013 Windows Phone project
Yeah, Xamarin is currently looking like the best option for a C# developer to develop for cross platform devices. I ran a demo at Perth .net user group where I showed a solution with 4 target OS's in one, and how/where you share your code between them. Window (store), Windows Phone, iOS and Android. The down side of them bringing out the community stuff is that my license I bought (not cheap) so I could use Visual Studio won't be needed. The upside is I probably won't need to renew it when it expires (unless I'm actually using it for paid work, I will use the community ed). C# is showing up in more and more places. Xamarin, Unity 3d, and I'm sure its elsewhere.
