Forward Contact for Windows Phone

Forward Contact is a streamlined App for forwarding Contact from your Windows Phone. You can send the contact details as SMS, E-Mail or create a QR code and scan it to easily save it.

Forwarding a Windows Live contact with this App takes just 3 steps. Open the App and select the Contact you want to forward. Now, choose if you want to send it via Messaging or via E-Mail, add the recipient & send. Or you can create a QR code and scan it via QR scanner & save. Done!

The App is Free and Windows Phone Mango only.

If you want to send a contact’s information, Forward Contact is the perfect FREE app for you.

Preview of Forward Contacts (Beta) for Windows Phone Mango

The first Major Update release of Windows Phone codenamed Mango will be available for download this fall (2011) as well as new Devices pre-loaded with Mango will be available. Windows Phone Developers are provided with a beta version of Windows Phone Mango as well as new Developer Tools to create and test Mango compatible apps. I have installed Windows Phone Mango on my device and I am very much impressed with the OS! It’s really awesome :).

Now coming to the point, Forward Contacts for Windows Phone is able to forward only E-Mail addresses or Phone numbers of Contacts while many users requested to pull out addresses too from the Contact to forward them. Well in Windows Phone Mango, third party apps are no more restricted to access only the E-Mail addresses and Phone numbers. So here I am with the Forward Contacts Windows Phone Mango version preview video!

Integrating Twitter in Windows Phone App using TweetSharp

In this post we'll discuss how to integrate Twitter in your Windows Phone Silverlight App and make it more social.

I'll be discussing the Authorization part and then we'll send a Tweet.

I'll be using the Tweetsharp assemblies which is available here. It supports Windows Phone 7, and will probably support Mango too, but keep an eye there.

If you don't know how OAuth for Twitter works, visit apiwiki.twitter.com. You will also require Consumer Key and Consumer Secret from dev.twitter.com for your App, sign in there with your Twitter account, register an desktop client app and you'll get the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.

Now following will be the OAuth workflow of App using Twitter:

1. Get OAuth Request token.

2. Get the Authorization URL and redirect user to web browser and allow User to grant access.

3. Get back the 7 digit code via User.

4. Get OAuth Acces token using Request token and the 7 digit code.

5. Authenticate Twitter Service with Accest token.

Done!
