Answer 1

The Windows Phone 7 development tools only work with Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend for Windows Phone, however, all of these tools are free. If you download and install the Windows Phone Developer Tools , the installation includes:

• Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
• Windows Phone Emulator Resources
• Silverlight 4 Tools For Visual Studio
• XNA Game Studio 4.0
• Microsoft Expression Blend for Windows Phone

All of the above are free and enable you to develop and test your WP7 applications on the emulator and on a developer unlocked device. In order to test your application on an actual device you will need to register for a developer account on the AppHub .

Windows Phone 7 tools run under Visual Studio 2010 only. During CTP for WP7, the tools were released under VS2010 beta.

You can have a VS2008 and VS2010 install side by side. The WP7 tools ship with VS2010 express, so you get this for free. If you did this along side VS2008, you would have access to VS2008, VS2010 and the emulator on one PC, however VS2008 and the WP7 SDK would not be integrated as it is in VS2010.

There is not currently a way to install WP7 tools without getting 2010. Though it has been requested many times by people with existing VS2010 paid installs.

如您在此处看到的： http : //www.microsoft.com/downloads/zh-cn/details.aspx? FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce Windows Phone 7开发工具包含Visual Studio 2010 Express，并且具有运行模拟器的人应该安装这些工具，以便它在VS 2008中不起作用。
