I am NOT a programmer, but rather a videographer. I googled HandlePIChanges and the only hit I got was from a posting on this web site entitled, "WCF Web Socket Service - lock not working correctly". In it the author lists some code that contains the verbiage HandlePIChanges, which comes up in a requestor box when I run the video editing program Vegas Pro 19 Build 550. While you probably are not interested in such an app, perhaps you might be able to clue me what HandlePIChanges means with respect to a Win 10 pro 64-bit user. It would be nice if someone could help out an outsider such as myself in trying to cope with a much-needed app that now has my hands tied. Any help (in layman's terms, of course) would be MUCH appreciated! I thank you in advance.

is there anybody who preserved the old Website of the Janusys company. Mostly known for their GridEX Winforms control but they had a complete suite of Winform Tools. Their support was (up until 'bankruptcy') very good and gave much more info on how to use their control in a non standard way.
I still use their components a lot in my projects and up until last year there was still a lookup method on http://janusys.net to get ideas if I was stuck.
The site(s) are out of the air now, so I hope someone has made a 'copy'??
regards Sandor
I hope too.
I hope the site is reactivated or that someone has managed to make a backup

I have made one windows phone based application. i want some designing ideas from you wp7 people.how can we apply styles,transparent background or the design which suits wp7 app. may i have some links which provides snaps for good designed apps. please help
One app that jumps to my mind when talking about great use and adaption to the metro design, it's "Cocktail Flow". It has very well done implementations of many design cues for WP7. As special treats it has features like parallax effects controled via gyroscope.
You can find a free version on the marketplace. Definitely worth a look.
MSDN user experience guidelines are pretty good, User Experience Design Guidelines for Windows Phone.
Also, it helps to install some popular apps from the marketplace and study their design.
The BEST thing you can possibly do to get a good idea of how to build a great WP7 app is to own a Windows Phone, and use it as your primary phone.
Get used to the way the operating system flows. Download cool apps. As time goes on you begin to understand from the user's perspective what a "good" app looks (and more importantly) feels like. It's a hard thing to nail down in a "user experience" spec. I find that a lot of people who set off to build a WP7 app do so before understanding how apps are supposed to behave on the platform. It is vital that you understand how users expect applications on the windows phone to operate. If you use a windows phone for a good 3-4 months, and really make an effort of butting it through the steps, it will be hard to walk away from that experience without a very clear idea of what a "good" application looks like for the windows phone.
That being said, and while I honestly don't believe that there are any short cuts to good design for the windows phone, I highly recommend downloading the following apps, and playing around with them to get a feel for "good" UI:
Wordament
Cocktail Flow (previously mentioned)
Twitter
Spotify
Yelp
Any of the built in applications (Office, Zune, Internet Explorer)
The above are good to start with, but again, you're really not going to understand it unless you live and breath it everyday for at least a few months.
Interested in listening in on general chat by Windows Phone 7 developers. Anyone know of non-Microsoft forums? A Microsoft one would be okay unless the developers in there feel sort of obliged not to be critical.
I'm preparing to work on an infamous mobile app and whilst iPhone & Android are obviously on the list, I'm interested in whether WP7 offers anything enticing.
Thanks, Rob.
By far the biggest and most popular forums are the official Microsoft ones.
The next busiest (in my experience) is here on Stack Overflow.
If you're interested in what non-developers are saying about the platform have a look at the forums on Backstage.
Obviously it's early days, I do not know whether this is information that is in the public domain or not yet, but...
I have trawled through some of this site - http://www.windowsphone7series.com/ but I can't seem to find the answer.
Specifically will I be able to write an app on the phone that updates the cloud with the phones current GPS position in the background even when other apps are running in the foreground.
According to ZDNet's post yesterday, Windows Mobile 7 will support multitasking for things like having music playing while using an application, but as far as 3rd party it will most likely not be supported. Things like notifications however will be there, as to help with multitasking.
I hate to relieve myself on your bonfire Christopher but might I suggest that a background GPS process, might not be a good idea. You'd really run down the users battery performance, perhaps if you shared a little more about your idea we could suggest an alternative architecture that didn't require a constant gps post.
