Viewing Windows Phone 7 Marketplace on the simulator
Since I’m out of the countries where WP7 Marketplace is available it’s been a real pain to check out new games and most of all if Vizati was already available.
Btw it’s out there, go give it a try, there’s a trial mode. It’s great fun
So searching some forums I found a neat code to check this on the simulator.
Basically create a new WP7 Silverlight App and write this main page code
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage { // Constructor public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); var task = new MarketplaceHubTask(); task.ContentType = MarketplaceContentType.Applications; task.Show(); } }
Oh, the first time you launch the simulator you’ll get a connection error, usually if the simulator just booted. Just launch the app again
