I wish show presentation of wp7 application on PC monitor, how i can do it using usb-connection and without cameras =)
What's programs i should use? I can't use emulator because all inputs, touches should be from real device.
Thanks!
This link should give you a bit of help with what you are trying to achieve Capturing Windows Phone Screen on your Computer
However this is a "Hack" so I would proceed with caution!

I've used the following code on Windows Phone 7 and 8 to disable user idle detection when my App is displaying data to the user and they are unlikely to interact with the screen e.g. A recipe App where the screen needs to stay on:

Does anyone know if there is an analogue of this available for Windows 8 applications? My tablet app has the same requirement to disable the screen turning off. I haven't managed to find anything :-(
Many thanks,
Jon
You should use the DisplayRequest class, specifically DisplayRequest.RequestActive for this purpose. You must also remember to call DisplayRequest.RequestRelease once you are done to allow the display to sleep, for example, if you are not viewing a recipe, or you are in a menu screen, etc.
I am developing a security related windows phone application. I need to disable/block screen capture for my application.
In Android, we used to set a flag FLAG_SECURE to the window of which we want to block the screen capture. Is there anything similar in wp7 also??
Thanks
You can't do screen captures on Windows Phone unless you use homebrew apps, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
And even if there were screen capture apps on the marketplace, you would have no way to be safe. Even if you found a way to prevent screen captures, how would you prevent users from taking a picture of the phone with a camera, or sideloading the app on the emulator then making screen captures of the emulator?
There's currently no API available to developers that allows you to perform screen captures with a locked device.
The alternatives are as follows:
Unlock your device and sideload one of the homebrew based screen
capture apps.
Take a picture of the screen itself (Crude but it
would do the job).
Microsoft have stated that they do not intend to change this in the near future (CNET Article)
I am developing a game for Windows Phone 7 using XNA, and I have set it up so that it runs as a Windows XNA app as well. The thing that I am having a problem with now is simulating the XNA touch gestures using the mouse in the same way that the Windows Phone 7 emulator does. I can't use the Windows Phone 7 emulator because it refuses to run on my laptop, because the hardware isn't new enough.
Any ideas on where I might either find a library which can translate mouse data to touch gestures, or where I might find enough information to get started without huge amounts of guesswork?
Here is a good article about Gestures (CS)/Gestures (VB).
Article Overview
Compare the Gestures abilities of Windows Phone 7 to other major phone
platforms, and learn how to take both gesture and raw touch input on
Windows Phone 7. This article is a thorough comparison of the gestures
features available across the major phone platforms, and contains code
to support basic touch-based input scenarios.
It's a bit annoying having to deploy to a device everytime to test multitouch functionality so I was just wondering if it's possible to fake the second finger. Obviously plugging in two mouse's doesn't help...
There's no out of the box support for this at the moment, but there are some options you can look into for this.

In addition to the links from Mick N, you may also want to have a look at the MultiTouch Behavior for Windows Phone 7. As this includes support for simulating multiple touches with the emulator and a single mouse while testing.
I am looking to get into Windows phone 7 development. I am running Windows 7 and i know it supports multi touch which i can then use in the emulator if enabled.
Is there any way for me to try this out without me paying a premium for a tablet, phone or touch monitor?
Many thanks,
Kohan.
You could always emulate multitouch until you have an actual phone to test on.
Just found this, how to make your own surface like touch screen. Wow!
