Developed with Microsoft Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone 2012.

Compatible with:

• Windows Phone 8

Tested to work on:

• Nokia Lumia 520
• Nokia Lumia 1020
• Nokia Lumia 1520

Instructions

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Windows 8
• Windows Phone SDK 8.0
• Nuget 2.7 or later

This project uses the Nuget Automatic Package Restore that was introduced in Nuget 2.7. For this reason you must have Nuget 2.7 or later, otherwise building the project will fail.

To update your Nuget Package Manager installation:

1. Open Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone
2. From the menu, navigate to Tools, Extensions and Updates, Updates, Visual Studio Gallery
3. Check if there is a Nuget update available and if yes, install it.

For more information on Nuget see: http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/package-restore

To build and run the sample:

1. Open the SLN file: File > Open Project, select the solution (.sln postfix) file
2. Select the target ‘Device’ and platform ‘ARM’.
3. Press F5 to build the project and run it on device.

If the project does not compile on the first attempt it’s possible that you did not have the required packages yet. With Nuget 2.7 or later the missing packages are fetched automatically when build process is invoked, so try building again. If some packages cannot be found there should be an error stating this in the Output panel in Visual Studio Express.
