[Ironpython-users] IronPython on Windows Phone

[Tomas Matousek]

I would build IronPython WP7 binaries first and then add references to the resulting dlls, not to projects. Have a separate solution for you WinPhone app.

Hi Markus,

Thank you for the advice! I'll try the latest version of MonoDevelop in a while.

My only success debugging IronPython code on WP7 was using my own projects made from scratch with some tweaks.

I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the Express editions or my mistake: I can open the IronPython solution in VS Express for Phone and build the projects using the WP7Debug configuration. But if I add a new Windows Phone application project to this solution for debugging, when I Add References to the IronPython projects I get a messageBox saying:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
Unable to add the selected project reference. The project reference must be another Silverlight for Windows Phone project that is the same or lower version.

Any suggestions are welcome. :-)

Thanks a lot!

Best regards
Mello

Hi, Cesar,

Just as a side note: If the Express Editions are too limited, sometimes SharpDevelop or MonoDevelop do the trick. E. G. they can handle "Solution Folders" and multi-language projects. A disadvantage is that, currently, none of them handles Managed C++ and C++/CLI.

Grüße,
Markus

Thanks! I think I missed that one because I use the Express editions of Visual Studio at home.

But now I see all the platforms are OK.

Best regards

Please use the RC1 files if you can.

The normal WP build uses the same project files as everything else -
just set the configuration to WP7Debug (or maybe Silverlight3Debug, I
can't remember if I actually renamed it).

You can also build everything by opening a Visual Studio command
prompt, navigating to the root, and running `msbuild`. The resulting
files will be in bin.
