Can WCF/MEF/Unity be implemented in Silverlight using Windows Phone App ? Any pointers
Don't know about WCF or MEF, but the Unity team just announced Windows Phone 8 support for Unity.

I am thinking to rewrite a WPF app on Uno Platform.
Is there a way to consume WCF data service inside a Uno Platform project?
Do I add a service reference? (Where would I implement that?) or there are other ways?
you can try to add .Net Standard 2.0 project to your Uno platform solution and Add your WCF service reference to this (.Net Standard 2.0) project. After this, you can reference this (.Net Standard 2.0) project to your all other uno platform projects i.e. UWP, Andi, IOS, WASM, and others. Your WCF service available to all uno platform projects
I have developed Windows Phone 8 application and implemented MPNS(Microsoft Push Notification Services).
**I have upgraded the app from Windows Phone 8 version to Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 using Visual Studio 2013, As per this link I found WNS is recommended by Microsoft. As It has evolved with new features and advancements.
But when planned to go with WNS I need to have MOBILE SERVICE as a back-end. something like Microsoft Azure Mobile services, which is payable one.
Contacted Azure Mobile support for the same they say it's for UWP(Universal Windows Apps) if that's the only case, how to proceed with WNS in my upgraded application, or did he explain something wrong?
And also I have obtained Symantec mobile code signing certificate - 299$ can I use the same to signing MPNS and WNS?
To use the WNS notifications in a Windows Phone app built using the MobileFirst tooling, you need to read the documentation. Like this: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.dev.doc/devref/t_setting_up_push_notification_win8.html?lang=en.
It doesn't matter that you're app is a Hybrid app.
In IBM MobileFirst Platform, WNS is applicable only for Universal Windows Apps (as already mentioned) .
To use WNS notifications:
a) if you are using a hybrid application, add a "Windows 8 Universal" environment. The resultant UWP project structure contains a WP8.1 project as well.
b) if native, create your own native Universal C# application. In your MFPF project, add Windows Phone 8 Universal native API.
How can I call a Odata Service from my Windows Phone 8.1 App. There is no "Add Service Reference". Microsoft don't support this feature anymore for xaml Windows Phone 8.1 Apps.
How can I bind this Odata Service now?
Any ideas...
thanks

You can use the WebAuthenticationBroker
MSDN Reference
Windows Universal Apps Sample
Vittorio Bertocci wrote a great article to demonstrate how to use WebAuthenticationBroker with Office365 api (EWS/OData)

"Add Service Reference" is not supported any more, but a new one is in the landscape: T4. Please take a look at this blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/odatateam/archive/2014/03/11/how-to-use-odata-client-code-generator-to-generate-client-side-proxy-class.aspx.
I am trying to create a live chat and Video Conference and Video messages in silverlight 4.0. I have tried many code but they are not working for me. I am new in this type of code.how can I achieve this all?
You can use WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) for this. It allows you to build a "duplex"-communication between server and (Silverlight) client(s).
Google for wcf chat duplex silverlight - there are many examples out there.
The other way is to use sockets - it's faster but you have to build it on your own. WCF has many build in standards, so it can save you a lot of work.
I have some advanced WCF client work I would like to do with Windows Phone. Is IClientMessageInspector available? I don't see it.
IClientMessageInspector is in Silverlight 4 but Windows Phone 7 is based on Silverlight 3. As such it's not available on the phone.
Some functionlity form Silverlight 4 has been back ported to the phone but not this.
