Hello everyone I have Visual Studio Express Windows Phone 2012 installed on my windows 8. I have a windows 7.5 Nokia device. I would like to know how can I debug to device directly?
If you have the phone connected, and Zune is running (and can see your phone), then you can you the drop down to choose "Device" instead of "Emulator 7.1" (etc.). This will then deploy your debug version of your app to your phone, and run it with the debugger attached, so that you can stop on exceptions/breakpoints/etc. as you would if running on the emulator.

I have VM Virtual Box running a Windows Phone emulator. How do I get Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition to use it to test a Windows Phone app?
Apparently one is supposed to use the Device Emulator Manager to register emulators and it ought to be accessible from the Tools menu but its not there.
I'm developing a Windows Phone 8.1 app in Visual Studio 2013 Pro on a Windows 7 machine. Obviously, using the emulator is not an option for running it.
Is it possible to deploy/build a Windows Phone 8.1 application to a device (an actual Windows Phone connected via USB) on Windows 7? (I'd find out myself, but I don't have a Windows Phone. My client is willing to purchase one if that will enable us to run it.)
Sure, but you should have developer unlocked device to deploy your application. To unlock your device, you can use Windows Phone Developer Registration tool coming with SDK.
Am using Visual Studio 2010 and developed a application and debugged it in a windows phone 7.5, after registering with [windows phone developer Registration] app.
Now i got a new windows phone 8, i could not register because i read that, the windows phone 8 will not be supported by zune. Without zune [windows phone developer Registration] will not detect your phone.
Some people says i need to use Visual studio 2012 for windows phone 8, then the problem i have i am using only windows 7 desktop operating system. Visual studio 2012 needs windows 8 desktop operating system.
Please suggest me can i run my app in windows phone 8 with visual studio 2010.
If the only way is to develop in Visual studio 2012 then will my application support for windows phone 7.
Please help me with your suggestions and answers.
That is how it is, you need VS2012 for WP8, which itself needs Windows 8. You can always download an evaluation version of both and use them, eventually inside a virtual machine. Pretty much the same story than for developing Windows 8 applications.
Regarding compatibility between phone versions, Microsoft recompiles WP7 apps so they can run on WP8 but I'm unaware this happening the other way around.
WP8 doesn't need Zune and it's not available anyway on Windows 8.
I myself had to switch to Windows 8 for this very reason...
I am unable to create an app for Windows phone 7.5 [Nokia Lumia 900] or deploy app to the phone from Visual Studio 2012. I have installed Windows Phone 8.0 SDK. Can anyone give me steps to do so?
You need to download and install Zune desktop app to deploy apps to WP7 devices.
Once it is installed, launch it, it will connect to your device and you then should the be able to deploy and debug apps from Visual Studio.
The SDK includes a tool called "Windows Phone Developer Registration". Once you've registered with the marketplace you can use this tool to unlock a device and deploy to it directly from Visual Studio.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36474 did work me. WP 8 SDK earlier did not support 7.8 phones. Need to update 7.8 SDK before testing on 7.8 devices.
I have installed the dev tools. I have both visual studio 2010 and Visual Studio C# Express. After install it launched VStudio, I create a windows phone app, when running it says "Error 1 Zune software is not installed. Install the latest version of Zune software."
I saw on the internet that I had to connect to emulator in tools menu except I don't have such menu. So is there something I missed ?
It sounds like you're trying to deploy to a device. In Visual Studio, next to the debug button (green arrow), there's a drop down box. Set that to Windows Phone 7 Emulator and then try running the app. This should launch the emulator instead of trying to deploy to an actual device.
