Write XmlDocument in Windows Phone

while writing the xml file in windows phone 8.1...this is the code I am using ..getting error(check image)..can anyone help..... <I don't want to use Xdocument Class for it>
XmlDocument dom = new XmlDocument();
             XmlElement x = dom.CreateElement("Transactions");
             dom.AppendChild(x);...
             Windows.Storage.StorageFolder sf =
                 Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
              sf=await sf.GetFolderAsync("LocalData");
              StorageFile file = await Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFileAsync("DataFile.xml", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
             StorageFile st = await sf.CreateFileAsync("DataFile.xml",CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
            await dom.SaveToFileAsync(st);
            return true;

Hi ThePiyushSharma,
>>this is the code I am using ..getting error(check image)..
I have tested in your code, it works well in my side:
Please first try to make sure that the "LocalData" Folder is in your InstalledLocation or you will meet the exception if the code can not find your folder.
If the above can not help, please try to post your detailed error information in here.

How to write and check log for windows phone enterprise app

We have developed a windows phone enterprise app for our customer, this app will be deployed thorough MDM solution, that is , being installed automatically after the device sucessfully enrolled into the MDM server.
Our customer required that if this app failed, there should be some log file they could send to us for identify the cause.
So we catch exception in the app and write the exception message into IsolatedStorage as log file , as following:
var appStorage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
using (writer = new StreamWriter(appStorage.CreateFile("errlog.log")))
writer.WriteLine(format, arg);
writer.Close();
There seemed no problem to write the log with above code. but the problem is , how can the user get the errlog.log to send to us? I tried both Windows phone power tool and IsoStoreSpy tool, they both seemed
not able to read the isolatedstorage for the application to get errlog.log due to this application not installed by themselves.
Any suggestions?
Many Thanks
Jennifer

The easiest way I see to achieve this goal is to provide a feedback page, search on app local storage to find the log file, ask the end user to click button to submit any feedback and post the log file. You can set up a server to receive that file.
Try read this blog about consuming RESTful service in windows phone programming to get started.

Saving to Windows Phone Documents Folder

Greetings,
I tried to look through the forum but could not find anything on saving to the Windows Phone Documents folder. From what I researched online on the Windows Phone 8 it was not possible to do this as Microsoft had blocked the ability to do this due to security
reasons. But on the 8.1 release they allowed this area to be accessed by third party apps. Is this correct?
If so how do I go abouts saving to the documents folder. Basically my app is really simple I just input a couple of words into different text boxes and that should save to a text file. How do I go abouts doing this.
I tried doing this
StorageFolder local = KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary;
However, when I run it the program stops at this spot:
#if DEBUG && !DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_BREAK_ON_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION
            UnhandledException += (sender, e) =>
                if
(global::System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) global::System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
#endif
What am I doing wrong. Thank you in advanced!!

I apologize for that I looked at it quickly on my phone. Ok so I managed to get it to save to a file. The problem is now is I want to be able to append to that same file. Is that possible?
Here is what I have so far:

Make clickable UI-elements for windows Phone 8.1 apps maps

Windows Phone 8.1 App , C#
I would like to let the user add Pushpins ( which apparently are called MapIcons ) to the map and when the user clicks the newly created Pushpin some other ui-elements should appear.
But apparently MapIcons are not clickable and you can not inherit from them since they are sealed, so no luck in making them clickable.
I tried to just extend from Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button , but those have not Location, probably because the do not belong to the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps-namespace. So I can not really add them to the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps.MapControl.Children
or Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps.MapControl.MapElements, since they will not be on the map where I would want them to be.
So how do you make a clickable ui-element that I can give a location on the map?
I already was here
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn792121.aspx#showing_xaml_controls_and_shapes_on_the_map
But I don't see how I can add clickable elements to my map
I could write something like this of course
        <Maps:MapControl Grid.Row="1"
            x:Name="map"
            MapServiceToken="token"
            >
            <Maps:MapIcon>
            </Maps:MapIcon>
        </Maps:MapControl>
But this MapIcon again is not clickable and it also staticly coded. I want to add mine dynamic.

Hi Michael,
Yes, as you said the MapIcon is not clickable, then for the workaround, please try to check the reply which posted by @Jogy in here:

was tested • We might encounter errors while using the format files, for example we get the below error if the format file doesn’t have blank space (character ) at the end of each line Msg 4862, Level 16, State 1, Line 10 Cannot bulk load because the file
"C:\temp\good.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null). • So it will be helpful if you can provide a sample format file and TSQL script along with the possible output which can be tested and compared. • The sample query and the
format file is not yielding the right output. Screenshots shown in the article has invalid values (for example ID coulmn has invalid values). Format file need to be fixed to get the right data. • The format file under section “Files With Text Qualifiers” is
also invalid and the data is not imported properly. • Implementation of import using the SSIS package needs more details about how to make the delimiter consistent, Attaching a sample package would be helpful. "

How can i use shoutcast streams on windows phone?

I have an idea to make an application but i don't know how to use shoutcast streams in windows phone ? Is there any API or something that i need to fallow?
Alican

At the moment Shoutcast audio streams are not supported natively in Windows Phone. You will need to write a self implementation of IMediaStreamSource to parse the audiostream and also handle the http connections to the streaming server.
Another solution is to use a third party implementation such as www.jupitersdk.com.
It offers a well documented API, is easy to integrate and use into your project and there is a trial version for testing purposes.
Jupiter Sdk has successfully been used in several RadioStreaming apps which can be found in the Windows Phone Store. By the way, it allows not only to play Shoutcast and Icecast audiostreams in Windows Phone 8.1, but also to retrieve the stream metadata (i.e.
current Title and Artist), among other interesting features.

Does Verizon really care about the windows phones??

I recently bought the Nokia 928 and as a "tech-impaired" person I am really happy with it. This is my second smart phone and I find it much easier to navigate than my Motorola Droid 3. My co-worker (who is similarly impaired!) wanted to update to her first smart phone and had visited her local Verizon store to browse the various phones. All that was EVER mentioned to her or shown were various Razrs, the Samsung Galaxies, and of course I-phones. She saw the 928 demo phone there but it was never even offered as a choice so she didn't ask about it. When she saw my phone she asked my thoughts, and asked to "play" with it. I showed her some of the things she could do that I have found to be not difficult. Bottom line she decided she liked the ease of operation, knew she did NOT need Suri and thought the Samsung Galaxy S 4 had way too many features for what she would ever need. She went back to the store and they did not even have a 928 in stock. They did order her one, but she said that I knew way more about what the phone could do than anyone there. I told her to ask about the 25 dollar gift certificate available through the end of June that could be used for Microsoft apps, they knew NOTHING about that either. When I bought my phone I asked the store rep who was helping me (in a different town) and she was also unaware of it; but at least she found out and helped me set up a Microsoft account and got the certificate onto my phone. She laughed and admitted she really knew very little about the Windows phone set up. It really does seem that Verizon just doesn't care much about this platform and does not give their customers this choice since they virtually ignore that it even exists.

Thats why I normally do not get involved with writing on message boards, especially corporate boards, too many company employees write comments like that on behalf of their office…and yes, cellular service and home communications services are a little more that a “soda” and yes, I do expect loyalty to be a two way street….end of thread, unsubscribed from this farce….

How to play live streaming in windows phone 8.1 silverlight app?

Hi,
I am developing a windows phone 8.1 silverlight app. In my I want to show live streaming youtube channel , I think it is not possible,
Actually that youtube channel is a television channel , I want to stream that live tv in my app.(I tried to load youtube channel in webbrowser in iframe tag but it is not opening)
Anybody help me how to play live tv or live streaming in my app,
Thanks..
Suresh.M

Hello,
You will likely need to write a custom
MediaStreamSource that can access the media stream and parse it. Windows Phone supports h.264 natively and as long as the site serves up a media stream that contains h.264 frames you can parse it and have our built in decoder decode and display it. You
will need to have intimate knowledge of the streaming protocol used by the website that you are trying to play. You must also make sure that the website is not using protected content. IANAL so I would recommend that you have your local law professional
(lawyer) review the licensing of the website that you are attempting to connect to and stream from before continuing your development. Your lawyer can make sure make sure their licensing allows you to do this.
I hope this helps,
James

How to stop Windows phone 8.1 app from crashing?

Hi All,
I have developed an app in Windows Phone 8.1 environment (WinRT). When i tested the app in my local testing device, it worked fine but when i hosted the app on app store, it sometimes crashes. Please help me, how do i stop my app from crashing?

Sometimes crashes or always crashes when deployed through the store?
If you want to rely on data instead of magic then check the crash reports as Abdul suggests. If you want magic then my crystal ball says that if it always crashes the app is trying to write to its install directory.
The install directory is writable for test deployed apps but not for apps deployed from the store.

How do I upgrade my Windows Phone Silverlight/SQL CE app to Windows 10?

I have currently a Silverlight app in Windows Phone Store which uses SQL CE database. Data stored in database is very essential and users may not loose it in any situation or they stop using the app.
I know I could in theory upgrade my Silverlight app to use SQLite, then wait for 6-12 months to be sure that all users have upgraded into this SQLite version and only after that publish my Windows 10 version of the app. But I really would not like to do
that because waiting for 6-12 months is too long. My app is used maybe 1-2 times a month by an average user, that's why I think minimum of 6-12 months wait time would be necessary.
I believe many developers have the same issue.
Is any of these options possible:
1. Silverlight is still in Windows 10 so the code for reading SQL CE databases still exists there. So Microsoft could easily implement in Windows 10 APIs an utility function something like ExportSqlCeDatabase(DataContext context, string outputFolder)
which would export all tables in a database to CSV files. Then in my Windows 10 app I could import data from those CSV files into my new SQLite database.
2. Can I prevent automatic application upgrade from a too old Silverlight app to Windows 10 version? Upgrade should be allowed only if user has first installed the Silverlight upgrade which already uses SQLite database. If an automatic upgrade is performed
from a too old Silverlight version still using the SQL CE database, all data is lost.
3. Can Silverlight app access files of another Windows Runtime app (from same publisher) in Windows 10? If this is possible, I could then implement a separate utility application using Silverlight which upgrades the old SQL CE database to SQLite in
the actual Windows Runtime app by accessing its files (read+write access to other app's files needed). This option would be the worst but better than nothing.

Take a look at Sam Jawaran's Build session
Moving to the Universal Windows Platform: Porting an App from Windows 8.1 XAML or Windows Phone Silverlight to Windows 10 tomorrow morning (and available recorded later).
I don't believe there's a clean way to read the SQL CE database once the app is upgraded to a Windows Runtime app. The best is probably to upgrade your app to convert from SQLCE to SQLite in Silverlight ASAP. That will give some time for customers
to run it and update their databases before Windows 10 ships and you publish the Windows 10 version of your app.

Understanding the Windows Phone Development Paradigm

Hi all I have been developing WinForm apps for a long time and over the past year or so have moved over to WPF. I guess I am quite old school in my ways but I still cannot get my head around data bound WinPhone apps.
I have no issue developing local WinPhone apps that just store data locally. However I cannot understand why it has to be so complex (is it?) dealing with databound apps on WinPhone.
In my head all I want to do is make a call to a server, via a datareader or other object and then populate my datareader. Like wise to update/insert take the data from my model stick it through an adapter and send it off to the server.
Can anybody explain why this cannot be done on WinPhone (or can it and I'm missing something?). Also I'm struggling to get my head around the service aspect of a WinPhone app.
It seem to me that you have to create a mobile service on Azure (or similar) and then actually write the code for it in c# (why can't I do this in vb.net? Does this mean I have to write my service in c# regardless of the language I choose to develop my app
in?) and then publish it to my mobile service. My phone app then connects to this published service.
Any tips good posts about which explains the whole concepts and reasons why WinPhone apps need to be developed this way. The MSDN ones to be honest seem to assume everyone knows the paradigm, without really explain the reasons for it.

DataReader/Dataset is not available in Windows Phone. To create databound app you have to create WCF Service which you can host on your server and consume it in your Windows Phone app. You can have a Azure Service or you can host WCF Service on our own server.
Although most of the samples are in C# but you can also write code in VB.NET. You can use C# to VB.NET Converter to convert sample into VB.NET

How to hold last frame in mediaplayer in Windows phone 8.1..?

I am using mediaElement to play videos in an app in Windows phone 8.1. When I am moving to next channel by pressing the right
arrow (which I have placed), its showing the first frame of the video before moving on to next video.
I actually want to show the frame at the time when the video was switched to next channel. How can I do this..?

Hi Jose,
Well, if you have a media file you can get its thumbnail from its StorageFile using StorageFile.GetThumbnailAsync method:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.storage.storagefile.getthumbnailasync.aspx
If you really need to grab the first frame from a video in your MediaElement, you have to write an MFT in C++ to do this. Please refer to this thread and read Rob's suggestion for details:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/b3245a6c-23b5-4fff-a26b-1c0a8a87437c/grabbing-a-video-frame-to-make-a-thumbnail-in-a-c-xaml-windows-store-application?forum=winappswithcsharp

Unable to detect NFC tag (ISO15693) in Lumia 830 on windows Phone 8.1

Microsoft in Windows phone 8.1 has added new Nfc related features including low level access(Non NDEF). I have Nokia Lumia 830 (PN547 NFC chipset is present in this device).Im not able to detect Nfc tag (ANT-7M24LR-A ,ISO15693) through Lumia 830, which
im able to read/write using Nfc-V(ISO15693) in Android. I also have a Lumia 720 (old NFC hardware) but atleast it is able to detect the tag. Has anyone encountered this ? Whats the workaround ?

Hi Franklin,
Thank you for the quick reply.
Current OS version on the Lumia 830 is : Windows Phone 8.1 Update (8.10.14157.200)
I have taken reference of the NFC Smart Card Reader project(nfcsmartcardreader codeplex) to read/ write to the tag. We are trying to read/write to the tag (ISO 15693) using the low level APIs (Non NDEF format).
But my problem is that even before we can send/receive the data from the tag, the phone is not detecting the tag itself. If i try to debug the card added event doesnot fire in any case for (ANT-7 M24-LR-A) tag.
I also have a Lumia 720 (old NFC hardware) but it is atleast able to detect the above mentioned tag.
Lumia 830 is able to detect other tags like a generic NFC sticker (Mifare Ultralight) .
Hi theDarkPriest,
>>I have taken reference of the NFC Smart Card Reader project(nfcsmartcardreader codeplex) to read/ write to the tag
Well, have you tied to read NFC Tag using Proximity API? If not, please refer to this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsappdev/archive/2013/04/18/develop-a-cutting-edge-app-with-nfc.aspx
If the Proximity API can detect NFC Tag correctly, I think this issue should caused by this third-party library, you need to ask for help in its official site:
