Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - This might be one of the most useful projects I have ever implemented. 7.8 tiles are suddenly not the ridiculous headache they always were. Frankly this belongs in the 7.8 SDK as standard

Created Issue: SaveAppointmentTask - Reminder property [33931]

I'm using the SaveAppointmentTask and trying to add a reminder.
Not working, and not included in samples.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong :)

Maintaining two versions of its application can be complicated sometimes.

Mangopollo will allow you to easily take advantage of new windows phone tiles (cyclic, flip, iconic) if your application is run from a Windows Phone 7.8 or 8 as well as new launchers if your application is run from a Windows Phone 8 while remaining compatible with windows phone 7.

New

support for Windows Phone 7.8,

add implicit converter to CyclicTileData, IconicTileData and FlipTileData

add Mangopollo.light.dll, compatible with background agents

Install

To install Mangopollo, run the following command in the Package Manager Console

PM> Install-Package Mangopollo

PM> Install-Package Mangopollo.Light

Features

New Tiles Type

CycleTileData : mimic the WP8 class to create Cycle Tile
IconicTileData : mimic the WP8 class to create Iconic Tile
FlipTileData : mimic the WP8 class to create Flip Tile

CreateFlipTile: create a Flip type tile
CreateIconicTile : create an Iconic type tile
CreateCyclicTile : create a Cyclic type tile
CreateFromStandardTile : create a Flip type tile from a standard tile (WP7)
ShellTileExt.Create (Uri, ShellTileData, bool) : allows to add tiles wides to your main screen

New Launchers (not included in mangopollo.light.dll)

SaveAppointmentTask: create an appointment in the calendar of the phone
MapTask: launch the Map app (WP8 version with vector and offline map, contrary to BingMapTask)
MapDirectionTask : request a route using the Map app (WP8 version with vector and offline maps contrary to BingDirectionMapTask)
MapDownloadTask : display the maps download page
MapUpdaterTask : display the maps updater page

Useful:

bool IsWP8() : Returns if the phone running the application is a Windows Phone 8
bool CanUseLiveTiles() : Return if the phone running the application is a Windows Phone 7.8 or +

Benefits/costs

Advantages:

a single application to maintain between windows phone 7 and windows phone 8
simplicity
the application will take advantage of the new tiles on windows phone 8 even if it's a WP7 app
use new offline maps tasks on Windows Phone 8

The disadvantages compared to a native Windows Phone 8 application:

Your application won't take advantage of new controls like the native panorama or native pivot
Your application will be displayed with a black band on 720p screen (HTC 8X)
You can't use new WP8 features like in-app purchase, WinPRT, etc..

Maintenir deux versions de son application peut être compliqué parfois.

Mangopollo va vous permettre très facilement de profiter des nouvelles tuiles de windows phone 7.8/8 (cyclique, flip, iconic) ou des nouveaux launchers si votre application est exécuté depuis un téléphone Windows Phone 8 tout en restant compatible avec les téléphones windows phone 7.

Pour installer via Nuget :

PM> Install-Package Mangopollo

Nouveauté 1.2 : support de Windows Phone 7.8

Fonctionnalités

Les nouvelles tuiles :

(nouveauté 1.1)

CycleTileData : simule la classe native pour créer une Cycle Tile
IconicTileData : simule la classe native pour créer une Iconic Tile
FlipTileData : simule la classe native pour créer une Flip Tile

Helpers:

CreateFlipTile : créer une tuile de type Flip
CreateIconicTile : créer une tuile de type Iconic
CreateCyclicTile : créer une tuile de type Cyclic
CreateFromStandardTile : créer un tuile de type Flip à partir d'une tuile standard (WP7)

ShellTileExt.Create(Uri, ShellTileData,bool) : permet d'ajouter des tuiles wides à votre écran principal

Nouveaux Launchers (non inclus dans mangopollo.light.dll) :

SaveAppointmentTask : créer un rendez-vous dans le calendrier du téléphone
MapTask : lance l'application Map (la version WP8 avec carte vectorielle et offline contrairement à BingMapTask)
MapDirectionTask : demande un itinéraire à l'application Map (la version WP8 avec carte vectorielle et offline contrairement à BingDirectionMapTask)
MapDownloadTask : affiche la page de téléchargement de cartes
MapUpdaterTask : affiche la page de mise à jour des cartes

Utile :

bool IsWP8() : retourne si le téléphone qui exécute l'application est un Windows Phone 8

bool CanUseLiveTiles() : retourne si le téléphone qui exécute l'application est un Windows Phone 7.8 ou supérieur

Les avantages/incovénients

Les avantages :

une seule application à maintenir entre windows phone 7 et windows phone 8
simplicité
l'application tirera profit des nouvelles tuiles sous windows phone 8 (en attendant 7.8)

Les inconvénients par rapport à une application Windows Phone 8 native :

Votre application ne tirera pas profit des nouvelles contrôles comme le panorama ou le pivot natif (plus performant)
Votre application sera affiché avec une bande noire avec les téléphones 720p (le HTC 8X notamment)
Vous ne pourrez utiliser les nouvelles fonctionnalités WP8 comme l'in-app purchase, WinPRT, etc...
