azure-mobile-wp7-sdk

This is all still very Experimental.

This is a C# (CSharp) SDK for Azure Mobile Services for Windows Phone 7.5.

In your entry class, or anywhere else visible (eg App.xaml.cs, Main() etc.):

public partial class App : Application
{
    public static readonly MobileServiceClient MobileServiceClient;
    public static User CurrentUser;

    static App()
    {
        // Get this data from the management portal's quickstart page
        // in the 'connect to existing apps' section
        MobileServiceClient = new MobileServiceClient(
            "https://YOUR_APP.azure-mobile.net/",
            "YOUR_APP_KEY"
        );
    }
    
    // the rest of App.xaml.cs here ...
}

Grab a table reference (typed - you can use the non-generic method and get a Table that works with JObject):

MobileServiceTable<TodoItem> todoItemTable = App.MobileServiceClient.GetTable<TodoItem>();

Insert:

var item = new TodoItem { Text = "Do this!" };
todoItemTable.Insert(item, (res, err) => {
    if (err != null) {
        //handle it
        return;
    }
    item = res;
});

Update:

var updates = new JObject();
updates["text"] = "The text";
todoItemTable.Update(updates, err => {
    if (err != null) {
        //handle it
    }
});

Get all:

todoItemTable.GetAll((res, err) => {
    if (err != null) {
        //handle it
        return;
    }
    foreach (TodoItem in res) {
    }
});

OData query:

var query = new MobileServiceQuery()
    .Filter("text eq 'whatever'")
    .Top(1)
    .Skip(2)
    .OrderBy("id desc");

todoItemTable.Get(query, (res, err) => {
    if (err != null) {
        //handle it
        return;
    }
    foreach (TodoItem in res) {
    }
});

Delete:

testStuffTable.Delete(item.Id, err => {
    if (err != null) {
        //handle it
    }
});

Login to Azure Mobile Services

Multi-auth Login is now supported ! (Microsoft Account, Facebook, Twitter & Google) This can be done in two ways:

1. Using LiveSDK for Microsoft accounts, and get the User Token in no time, OR AFTER the first time with step (2), and a saved Token, just use LoginInBackground() :

        App.MobileServiceClient.LoginInBackground( AuthenticationToken, (userId, err) => {
           // do something with userId ... 
        });
   

2. For the first time, we will need a web access (OAuth2.0) to get autherizationToken from the Providers. Implement a WebBrowser and a simple Grid with an Indeterminate ProgressBar running, and use the WebAuthenticationBroker we built for WP7. for example, add this to your XAML:

            <phone:WebBrowser Name="authorizationBrowser" Grid.RowSpan="2" IsScriptEnabled="True" Visibility="Collapsed" />
   
            <Grid x:Name="loadingGrid" Grid.RowSpan="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Visibility="Collapsed" Background="#B9000000">
                <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center">
                    <TextBlock Height="30" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Name="loadingText" Text="Loading..." VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="441" TextAlignment="Center" />
                    <ProgressBar Height="4" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Name="loadingProgress" VerticalAlignment="Center" IsIndeterminate="True" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Width="400" />
                </StackPanel>
            </Grid>
   

then use LoginWithBrowser like this:

        var provider = MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.Facebook;
        var broker = new WebAuthenticationBrokerStruct() { 
                authorizationBrowser = this.authorizationBrowser, 
                loadingGrid = this.loadingGrid, 
                dispacher = this.Dispatcher 
        };
        
        App.MobileServiceClient.LoginWithBrowser(provider, broker, (userId, err) =>        
            // do something with userId ... 
        });

Good Luck !

Use, abuse, and report back !
