Tips: These tools are a Customer Technology Preview release, so only install them if you’re comfortable using pre-release software.

 

Getting Started

First, download the Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP (link below), and run the installer.

 

Click “Install Now” to install the tools you need.  The only setup customization option is where to save the files, so choose Customize if you need to do so.

 

Setup will additionally download either 32 or 64 bit programs depending on your operating system.

 

You should reboot your computer after that.

 

Once your computer is rebooted, setup will automatically resume without further input.

 

When setup is finished, click “Run the Product Now” to get started.

 

Developer tools for Windows Phone 7

Although it may be fun to play with the Windows Phone 7 emulator, developers will be more excited to actually be able to create new and exciting apps for it.  The Windows Phone Developer Tools download includes Visual Studio Express and XNA Game Studio 4.0 which lets you create enticing games and apps for Windows Phones.  All development for Windows Phones will be in C#, Silverlight, and the XNA game framework.  Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone includes templates for these, and additionally has code samples to help you get started with development.

 

Exploring Windows Phone 7

Click the Windows button on the emulator to go to the home screen.  Notice the Zune HD-like transition animation.  The emulator only includes Internet Explorer, your test application, and a few settings.

 

Click the arrow on the right to see the available applications in a list.

 

Settings lets you change the theme, regional settings, and the date and time in your emulator.  It also has an applications settings pane, but this currently isn’t populated.

 

The Time settings shows a unique Windows Phone UI.

 

You can return to the home screen by pressing the Windows button.  Here’s the Internet Explorer app running, with the virtual keyboard open to enter an address.  Please note that this emulator can also accept input from your keyboard, so you can enter addresses without clicking on the virtual keyboard.

 

And here’s Google running in Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 7.

 

Windows Phone 7 supports accelerometers, and you can simulate this in the emulator.  Click one of the rotate buttons to rotate the screen in that direction.

 

Here’s our favorite website in Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 7 in landscape mode.

 

All this, running right inside your Windows 7 desktop…

 

Running Windows Phone 7 on your PC

Now that you’ve got the Windows Phone Developer tools installed, it’s time to get the Windows Phone emulator running.  If you clicked “Run the Product Now” when the setup finished, Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone should have already started.

 

If not, simply enter “visual studio” in your start menu search and select “Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone”.

 

Now, to run the Windows Phone 7 emulator, we have to test an application.  So, even if you don’t know how to program, we can open a phone application template, and then test it to run the emulator.  First, click New Project on the left hand side of the front page.

 

Any of the application templates would work for this, but here let’s select “Windows Phone Application”, and then click Ok.

 

Here’s your new application template, which already contains the basic phone application framework.  This is where you’d start if you want to develop a Windows Phone app, but for now we just want to see Windows Phone 7 in action.

 

So, to run the emulator, click Debug in the menu and then select Start Debugging.

 

Your new application will launch inside the Windows Phone 7 Series emulator.  The default template doesn’t give us much, but it does show an example application running in Windows Phone 7.

 

Conclusion

Because it is preview version, there is no way to experience all the features, but is also a priority to experience.People who is the fan of Windows Phone 7 just enjoy it now.
