I want to develop a windows phone 8 application that will communicate with sharepoint 2010 server. I’m familiar with windows phone 8 development. But no previous experience about sharepoint. While start searching information regarding this issue, I found windows phone 7 and sharepoint 2010 related info. Again windows phone 8 and sharepoint 2013 related info.
So is it a right chose to develop an application for windows phone 8 and sharepoint 2010? I guess it must be possible. Please advice where can I find more information about this combination.
Thanks in advance!
I assume you want to pull data from Sharepoint and render it in some way in your mobile app.
If that is the case depending of the technologies you use to develop your app you can choose between using Sharepoint Client Object Model, or alternatively Sharepoint exposes a lot of webservices to query data.
What I have been doing lately is I actually deploy own api using service stack which allows my client to consume json data, if you dont have experience with Sharepoint I would avoid this method and stick with what its in the box.

So, does Microsoft Store support apps that are made with VB.Net in Winforms?
I know the Microsoft Store supports UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps, but I don't know whether the store supports apps that are made with Vb.Net in Winforms.
Also does Microsoft Store support WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) apps that are made with VB.Net?
According to this page, Winforms apps are not allowed:
WinForms applications are not allowed at Windows Store, only UWP apps are allowed in the Microsoft Store. UWP provides a more secure ecosystem than other runtimes.
If you want to publish winform app to windows store, the first step would be to convert your WinForms application to UWP.
MS put out an app to convert Winforms/WPF apps into UWP apps though:

For a whole lot more info on that than I could ever post here, here's a good page:

Is it possible from a Windows 8.1 store application to tell if the tablet has it's power supply connected.
Basically I poll a service every 15 minutes to check for new data but I'd like this to be every minute if the power is connected.
I did ask this question a while back and was told it wasn't possible but I was wondering if the windows 8.1 update has added any extra functionality.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 and the application is a Windows 8.1 application.
Many thanks
Still no Power Management API or any alternatives for Windows 8.1
Check System section in this MSDN article:
Alternatives to Windows APIs in Windows Store apps
Is it possible to create a win8(normal) application for tablet using C# (VS2010).
If possible, can any one show me an example how to create a simple application to turn on Win 8 tablet's Bluetooth.
Please help. I have no experience in win8 application development.
To create the new Windows store apps you need Visual Studio 2012. You can still use 2010 to create normal Desktop applications (WinForms, WPF).
I'm trying to develop a WP8 app, and I have a free online sql server (not windows azure).
How can I Access the Database from the phone app?
I tried a local WPF sevice and it worked, but it won't help if I'd like to upload the app to the store.
Thanks for the help!
As far as i'm aware, you can't access the database directly, you need a proxy web service for this, i recommend you to look at OData, REST APIs and also to JSON or XML to transfer your data from the database to your app.
I am currently developing an application for a Motorola enterprise mobility device which has Windows Mobile 6.5. I am developing the application using Visual Studio 2008 Mobile Development Kit using C#.
My problem is this :
I want to use a database for this application. But I have no idea how to use a database in a mobile device. I tried googling and even searching on this site but could not find a proper way to do it. While searching how to do this I came across this "SQL Anywhere Developer Edition" but I have no idea about it.
Could you please suggest the best way to have a database in the mobile application itself (not using client like SQL Server in the mobile) or any other way.
You want Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 for Windows Mobile.
