My “Hello World” Windows Phone 7 Application
Posted on August 27, 2010 by Chris Koenig
I’ve done a TON of Windows Phone 7 demos over the past few months, and I get asked all the time for access to download my samples. I’ve been meaning to post this application since I started all of this, but just never got around to it. SO – here it is… the now Infamous MVVMLight-ified Netflix Catalog Sample!
This is by no means a comprehensive sample, but it does show some of the neat features of WP7 as well as a sample for how to integrate MVVM Light into your phone applications. Get the code from my Skydrive:

Good call – Visual Studio and the .NET Runtime are a LOT happier if you run the unblock over and binaries that you download before you run them. I forget this ALL the time and end up having to delete my expanded folder, unblock the Zip, then re-extract.
Thanks!
