Do you have a WP7 app that talks to a server? Are you trying to figure out a unique way to identify your users? Well, besides asking them I mean (which may NOT be so unique)? I think I can help you out.

Have you ever given a presentation and been asked for your slide deck? Blog? Website? Code? Or do you have a slide with all that information plastered all over it, only to see people still not copying it down on paper? No pen you say? Or, they're asking you.....you get the idea right? There HAS to be a better way? There is!

Last week, Microsoft released the WP7 NoDo update. Except, that "release" was to the carriers and not to us, the everday Joe, customer, developer, user, person paying the bills! Until this week that is!

Are you getting into the WP7? Have you tried using a Listbox? What about a Context Menu? If are confused, check this out, I go from nothing to loading listbox with XML data file, formatted with an image and removing items via a popup Context Menu too!
