We are planning to use AdControl in our windows phone app to show advertisement.
But we have some doubts,
Is the ads shown in Adcontrol is given by the microsoft ?.
We want to use a openx link to show ads. Is it possible to set openx link to the AdControl ?
Thnks.
If you use the AdControl that is part of the WP7 the ads are served to your app by Microsoft's Pubcenter. AdControl does not allow the client injecting additional ads into the AdControl.
If you want to vary how the ads are served, you will have to build your ad control. Have a look at AdRotator that supports a bunch or ad providers. WP7 also does not support arbitrary flash rendering, which OpenX appears to use.

I am making app of Xamarin UWP (Universal Windows Platform) and use Microsoft Advertising for mobile. For this I am using Link https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/monetize/adcontrol-in-xaml-and--net
All thing is well, but problem is that when i am using their Test ApplicationId and AdUnitId, the ad will show and i use new created ApplicationId and AdUnitId then error is show- AdControl error: No ad available in developing mode. Please guide me..
Your apps have been published in the store or not, usually real Application Id and Ad unit Id value should apply from the published apps and it takes 1-2 days after that for ads from real units to start serving. So I would like to suggest you use test value when you create your project, you just need to replace test value with real values when you package your project and submit in the store.
The fill rate is very low for Windows ads, so it's not a problem with your code. Also, you won't see ads in developing mode, so you have to release your app in order to see the ads.
How do I integrate ad providers with a PhoneGap App (for windows phone)?
I would think there are a couple of answers to this. One is to edit the XAML page, add the normal silverlight control to the page. This would require you to fiddle with the provided xaml from phonegap. This would give you access to the MS Ad Control and Google's Ad control for .net. At the end of the day, PhoneGap is just a silverlight page, with a browser control in it. So you can still edit that page, but you have to make sure you don't screw up the PhoneGap libraries and page.
The other solution is to find an html based ad control. Although this might not be possible with your ad provider.
I just downloaded the Beta sdk for admob on WP7 and after including the banner in the app(and viewing the default banner in the emulator mode) i've added the admob on-site publisher id an tried to run the app on a real device but there was no add showed (in debug and in release mode). The space is reserved (~75px of black space).
When looking in the console i see "Error - Ad Not Available (NoFill)" and on the admob site i see that there wasn't no ad request ever made. I got to the following conclusions:
1) there are no ads for my app due to windows phone's still-limited presence (but why isn't my app showing ad requests on admob site?). Also i found this on google's site :
Windows Phone 7 is new to the AdMob market, so in the short term you
may see some low fill rates until advertisers add this platform to
their targeting. Using test mode during development should eliminate
inventory as a variable in your SDK integration testing.
2)i've just created my admob ad so maybe google has a certain approval process.
Any other ideas of this problem? Has anyone else experinced it, and if so, how did they get over it?
UPDATE my app is now active on the adMob site and can see requests (122) , a fill rate(3.28%), eCPM(0), RPM(0) but the ads are still not showing. What can be the issue?
Is it possible to create a live tile inside our windows phone 7 application? I am asking the similar functionality as in AppHub app "...i'm a WP7!".
Please provide me input, how i can achieve this functionality?
Check out the HubTile control from the Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone over at codeplex.
Just be careful that it looks good and makes sense in your app - it's a very dynamic control and you can't see the Title of the control all the time.
We have a mobile version of our web site which works well on all mobile screen resolutions and sizes. Now, we would like to build a very simple app for Blackberry and Windows Phone 7. The app would be trivial - after you click on its icon, it opens a web browser and send you to our mobile web site. Just like a Windows OS shortcut that you place on your desktop.
Can you tell me if Blackberry and Windows Phone 7 policies allow such app be published? For example, Apple rejected us.
I can't speak for Blackberry, but Requirement 2.10 from the WP7 Application Certification Requirements:
Your application must have distinct,
substantial and legitimate content and
purpose other than merely launching a webpage.
So the answer seems to be no on the WP7 marketplace. Is there a reason you want to create an app like that anyway? On WP7, users can pin a tile to their home screen that will launch the website they've pinned. You could simply encourage users to do that on their WP7 and you'll get the same effect (except your site won't appear in the app list).
Seems this is okay for BlackBerry. See section 4.b of the App World FAQ.
Very strange. Our company has placed a similar application on Android Market and the Appstore and they have been resolved and now they available at stores. Also, I had a similar application for Windovs Phone, and it was also allowed.
P.S. Our application is not just a browser window, it has custom control panel in bottom. Also it has the communication protocol with the site - such a sending pictures from camera and phone and access to phone contacts.
