How can we format the detailed app description when submitting an app?
Entering a simple bulleted list like this:
See multiple currencies
Conversion for ...
Shows this ugly on the phone Marketplace:
Do Not Use Formatting
In the S.O. question "Tips for a successful Windows Phone 7 Marketplace submission", one of the Answers states:
Don't use formatting in your marketplace description as it won't be
preserved consistently when displayed in the Marketplace.
The blog post "Tip 5–Don’t use formatting in your Marketplace Descriptions" also details that copy/pasting of html fails as well.
App Hub May Contradict the Above
However, the "app hub application submission walkthrough" clearly states under the Detailed Description Checklist (item 5):
Include bullet points to highlight features of the app. Bullet points
should also be brief. Don't have more than six bullet points
So, it seems that there may be the ability to use some type of bullet list in the Detailed Description, yet there are no readily available guidelines on how to correctly format the bullet list.
Possible Options
One suggestion would be to use textual bullets, i.e,
- See multiple currencies
- Conversion for...
- etc...
Finally, as a last resort, submit a support ticket to the marketplace and quote the "app hub application submission walkthrough" I quoted above and ask them where the guidelines are for creating bullet-points.

I try to use VBS to automate Excel download on Sap Business Client. Normally I would use the following option:
Using settings option to record VBS
This works great when interacting with transaction.
Lately I came across a different type of GUI-which looks different. In this screen there is no scripting option and even after I tried to record from a transaction and interact with it, it fails.
This picture shows how it looks on the tabs menu (it has Sap logo instead of normal transaction logo):
Tab menu report logo
Unfortunately I use Sap in an organization that does not allow for full code sharing, so this is why I attached only screenshots.
Any help or even a link to a documented API to interact with such type will be very appreciated.
I tried to search for any ideas, but couldn't find anything.
My guess is that the object type needs to be different than SAPGUI or SAPGUISERVER:
Set SapGuiAuto=GetObject("SAPGUI ")
But again, no other option works.

I have submitted my app in windows phone marketplace.
I have selected the India as market and the price is 0.0(free app)while submitting.
I tried to download it from my system, but it shows
"You can't get apps in this region. You can check the Windows Phone Store
in your home region to see if the app is available there"
When i try too download the app from my mobile, i couldn't find the app in market place.
I am using Nokia Lumia510, and using this same account for the sign in at mobile.
Can you please give me a clarification why is this happening, and what should i do to see my app in mobile market place.
Are you sure this app has been approved already? There is a link on the bottom left of the page that says "Download and install manually" if you want to use it, however I would guess by looking at that page that Microsoft hasn't yet approved your app for the store - it can take a few days, and according to your link, your app was uploaded within the last 24 hours

I have 12 different apps on WP7 platform and the trial versions use Microsoft Advertising to display ads.
Should I be creating an AdUnit for each app separately on PubCenter or should I create a single AdUnit and use it for all my apps.
Does this even matter? I mean, if the apps have a single adunit, can it make more money (eCPM)
Thanks in advance.
An ad unit is the space on a webpage where ads are displayed. An ad unit can display one or more ads. You determine how you want an ad unit to look, where you want it to appear on a page, and what kind of ad content you'd like to see displayed. You can add different ad units to different pages on your website, or use a single ad unit for all webpages.
From: Microsoft Pubcenter

Is it possible to publish an app to Windows Phone Marketplace as free and later change the price of the very same app, without changing anything else?
I mean the stats, reviews etc remains in this case, the app is the same, the price raised from free to some value after a promo time period, say 3 months.
I know that it is possible with Apple AppStore, I also know it is not possible with Android Market (btw what about Amazon Android store?, but this is out of topic here)
Unfortunately I did not find related info about WP7/WP7.5 Marketplace.
Thx for answers
It is probably possible (at least it was) as I remember a bug where apps that converted from free to paid could not be updated by the end-user and that very same bug also existed with apps that have trial versions.
Edit: I'm pretty sure you can change from free to paid, but for the other way, your app needs certification again which means republishing it. MSDN especially states that special condition.
Yes, it's possible. With the one limit that users that have already "purchased" the application (for $0), won't be asked to pay for it when you change the price.
Not even if they re-install the app.

Are there any services that allow you to place advertising in Windows software? I want to give away my software for free but still need to eat!
Check out OpenCandy, they have a really nice concept IMHO:
only a single, opt-in ad - in the installer (so your application remains ad-less). There is an interesting post about them # DonationCoder.
It is, of course, trivial to put a fixed collection of adverts into your code. The trouble comes if you want to sell eyeballs and have the ads change. Then the code has to go talk over the network to get new adds.
Many people would have a name for this: adware. If people find you making network connections behind their back, as it were, they are likely to break out some more negative terms.
However, if you are completely open and honest about it when you offer the code for download, then your conscience might be clear.
Practically, you need to have code that makes a network connection to some site of yours, pulls the ad content, and displays it in some sort of annoying popup.
Check with individual affiliate programs to see if they allow links in applications.
You can also try the Freemium model: Turn on some extra features if they pay for your program.
Or link to your website for support information, instructions, etc., and place ads there.
Or offer an e-mail newsletter with updates, news, etc. Advertising in these is easier.
