Is there any api to access the alarm settings of a windows phone 7 device. I am not looking for creating new alarms, but access settings of the default alarm app.
Thanks in advance
Nope, there is not. If you know 7.0 well, you can check out new functionality that was added in 7.1 to see if what you want has been added:

Im using the one from LocalJoost:
One of the biggest advanced: Zero lines of code solution for in-app checking for updates on Windows Phone
You can find the complete documentation here
Launching the MarketPlace Details task should trigger the update.

I want to obtain the Passcode protection feature in my app as it is in Wallet App which is already exist in Windows Phone emulator. After setting the pin and exit from the app. Then again start the app it ask for the Wallet pin. How to obtain that view in my app. My Question is whether it is default library in Windows Phone 8 or we have to built itself? if it is default then what we called it how to do access such thing? Thanks in advance.
This would have to be built by you or from a 3rd party - there is nothing in the SDK that implements the behaviour you are after.
is it possible to create a custom account (similar to Microsoft Account,Facebook, Twitter, ...) in Windows Phone so that a user can setup an account of my Custom Type and then can sync data and so on.
It's something similar to using a SyncAdapter in Android.
can I achieve this in Windows Phone ? what are the APIs to use ?
Thanks
No, there is no way to setup your own account type.
But in Windows Phone 8 your application can add its own contacts to People hub. Here is basic samples:

And from this book you can get more details:

I suspect the answer to this is no, but is it possible to programmatically add alarms into the default alarm app on Windows Phone 7?
I'm hoping to avoid building a section of my app just to recreate the functionality in the existing app!
You can set alarms on the phone without having to use code of your own by using the Phone.scheduler namespace and initializing a new alarm instance.
Does anyone know what code to use specifically to jump from within a Windows Phone 7 application to the application's listing in the Marketplace?
Refer to the sample code for MarketplaceDetailTask here.
