Plugin for outlook mobile installed in windows phone 7 - windows-phone-7

I followed outlook model till POOM present in windows mobile 6.5, I have no clue if we can develop an addin for outlook installed with windows phone 7, if yes where can I find sdk related to it or any code samples.
Thanks

Windows Phone 7 doesn't allow full access to Outlook data as WM6.5 did. The closest you're going to get is to write an app for WP7.5 (Mango) that uses the Contacts and Calendar integration feature. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202972(v=vs.92).aspx.
You can also call out to make limited modifications using "choosers" - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff769543(v=VS.92).aspx

Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 API changes issue

I have a full fledged app built for windows 8.1...
Through my research, I discovered that the api changes between 8.1 and 10 is nt that much and an app built for 8.1 will work on 10..
So my question now is will a windows 10 app work on windows 8.1?
If yes, how can I go about it?
I've created a report on changes for WinAPI 8 vs WinAPI 10 that may help you to discover differences in details. It's available on this page. The report is generated with the help of the ABI-CC tool.
Since apps built for WP8.1 don't work on WP8, then I doubt that Windows 10 Mobile apps will work on WP8.1. As far as I'm aware, there are more differences between those two systems' API than between 8.1 and 8.0
Btw, are you asking about the desktop systems or the mobile ones (as the tag you used suggests)?

How to handle a wp8 and a wp8.1 in the app store

A user recently reported a problem in regards to not being able to answer "quizzes" in some of the web pages I display in my app. The first thing that popped to mind was that it could be a bug with my app, a bug with the web browser control or some unreliable CSS & Javascript code provided in the web pages.
After investigating it some more i.e. tried it on my web browser on pc in mobile mode and tried it in the regular browser, I noticed that it worked as expected, so I thought it was fair to assume that it wasn't the web pages that were the problem. So it left my app or the web browser control as potential problem.
My app was originally created as a windows phone app for Windows Phone 8 so it would be compatible with both windows phone 8.0 and windows phone 8.1 but to my surprise, after taking a backup and then converting my app from 8.0 to 8.1 the problem got resolved which means that the bug must be coming from the web control itself rather than in my code.
I don't know how popular these questionaires/quizzes are but so far that seems to be the only thing that's affecting the app in regards to web pages, so what do I do?
Now, to my questions (sorry for the long history!):
Will a WP Silverlight 8.1 app work on both Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1? Sorry if it's a silly question but I've got to ask. If it will, please ignore the other questions.
Should I leave the app as a Windows Phone 8.0 app as it could be affecting a minority of users that want to answer questionnaires/quizzes?
Upgrade the app to Windows Phone 8.1? Not everyone is on 8.1 or 8.1 preview for developers, so this could be a problem??
Upload 2 different versions? Maybe specifically name them as app 8.0 and app 8.1? Feels odd, no? This would also entail maintaining 2 different versions which is a complete pain or is there a better way to handle this i.e. Linked file in the second project?? I haven't checked yet what's changed between the 2. All I know for now is that once I converted my project from 8.0 to 8.1, it worked.
Is there a way to upload both versions to the store as one app and will Windows Phone download the relevant version?
Thanks
Internet Explorer in Windows Phone 8.1 is newer, this is why it works better.
1) No.
2) No.
3) Yes.
4) Yes. You can link files from the one project to another (use add as link feature in Visual Studio).
5) Yes. Windows Phone store can handle 7.5, 8 and 8.1 version very well.

Phone did not appear in visual studio

I am new to Windows Phone 8 development. I have registered (unlocked) my phone in Windows Phone Developer registration. And I can see the phone in File Explorer.
But when I launch MSVC 2013 Update 2 and open DirectX 3D shooting game sample, I can only see a plenty of emulators in dropbox and I don't see my phone.
What could be wrong?
I did not register as a Windows phone developer yet because it requires me to pay, but I hope I should be able to launch Microsoft's samples on real device without paying?
Did you google this?
Deploying apps to a device MSDN
You have to meet the following prerequisites before you can deploy an app to a Windows Phone device:
You must be a registered developer. For info about registering as a developer, see Registration info.
It's actually bullet point number one on the documentation.

How to implement Live Streaming on Windows Phone

I want to implement Audio Live Streaming on Windows Phone. most of them told Windows Phone 7 sdk does not support Streaming. so I upgrade and install Windows Phone 7.1.
Which class i want to use to implement Live Streaming?????
Please give some guidelines and materials to do this task.
Thanks in advance.
You may want to consider using IIS 7.X for the streaming portion. The following link shows how you can build the client app for Windows Phone 7:
http://www.iis.net/community/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=2020
The sample requires the IIS Smooth Streaming Client (1.1), Silverlight 4, and the Visual Studio Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools.

Can I use Windows Live Id in my Windows Phone applications?

Is there guidance out there? Samples? Is this possible?
Everything I am finding is 2010 before WP7 was even released! (including this question: Windows Live Id Authentication for Windows Phone 7 and Windows Live ID Single-Sign-On on Windows Phone 7 and Getting the currently logged-in Windows Live Id (Windows Phone 7) and Messenger connect desktop API for Windows Phone 7)
Anything new?
yes you can, by using the windows azure access control service:
