Hi guys,

Apps for Windows Phone 8.1 Programming with Microsoft-Visual-Studio-Community-2013, and programming fun again.

Since about one month I convert my B4A app to Windows Phone 8.1, and I must say that it's easy and it's great fun.

It looks difficult at first, but over time you realize that it is actually very simple.

In the last 2 years, I had 2 or 3 people ask me to make a Windows Phone version of my Android/iPhone app... so far it hasn't seemed worth the effort to me.
Of course I might just be lazy.

Hi @Filippo ,

It sounds interesting, can you share your experience:
How to do migration: UI & code ?
How long is a sample migration ?
...

Can you share a sample Android & iPhone 8.1 project in order to have a look ?

Many thanks.

Patrick

I write apps not because I have to live on it, but because I enjoy it. With Visual Studio I can program with my favorite language ".Net".

I love B4A and B4i and will continue to work with thus determined, but with Visual Studio makes it more fun.

I'm always happy when my project or modifications ended that required .NET.

That things is so bloated and slow that it requires a new term to define that.

It depends on ...
I use .NET (normally my preferred languages are Delphi and Python) to create plugins for big CAD systems. A part of this plugins running event driven in the background on every user change to checking or modifying thousends of objects at once. This can't be done if .NET are really slow.

I was talking about the IDE and it's time to compile a few lines of code. it's instant in any other language while VS needs seconds just for an empty project.

I just convert a B4a-App to WP8.1, it's done already to 90%.
Here the time of compiling to the first launch:
Visual-Studio= 13,82 second
B4A= 21,56 second

The app runs in WP8.1 very nice. My Test-Device is a Lumia 535.
