Editor's Notes

WP over iPhone and AndroidCall quality. I actually use my phone as a phoneSimplicity. Samsung Focus S, Nokia 900 and Nokia 800 were flawless out of the box. No junk software. Speaking of science experiments, I also tried a Android on Samsung Galaxy, Captivate, HTC MyTouchsoftware that cannot be deleted and restarts itself? Simplicity again. Everything after set up has been painless as well. Adding apps, setting up email accounts, etc. I thought the iPhone was good. WP set up was actually smoother and took WAY less time. Same for Wi-Fi, etc.Speed. The 900 4Gdidn’t seem to lag the way the iPhone did at times. Live Tiles. It’s a minor thing but the Metro tiles are pretty cool.

Tombstoning BasicsSilverlight in the browser and on the phone runs in a special “security sandbox” that isolates the host system from the application’s runtime environment. The phone environment adds a layer of complexity because multiple applications can co-exist on the platform. While the underlying OS of the phone supports multitasking, third-party applications aren’t provided with access to this layer.  Instead, applications have the opportunity to run “in the foreground” but can be quickly swapped out to make way for other applications, incoming phone calls or hardware features such as the Back button and search. When the application is deactivated, there’s a chance it may be “killed,” with the opportunity to be revived if and when the user navigates back. This is the process known as tombstoning.The “Mango” update to Windows Phone 7 will limit tombstone scenarios by providing “fast application switching.” Applications will no longer be automatically tombstoned. While this functionality is already present in the Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools, it’s important to recognize that it doesn’t eliminate the tombstone scenario. Factors such as other running applications and available memory will influence whether the application is tombstoned.The problem with tombstoning is that when the application is revived, new instances of the pages that are part of the application are created. Therefore, anything the user was working on when the event occurred—such as selecting an item from a pick list or entering text—is lost. It’s up to you, the developer, to maintain this state and restore it when the application returns to provide a seamless experience to the user. Imagine the confusion of a typical user who’s in the middle of filling out a form and clicks on search to look up a term, only to return and find the application has navigated to a separate, blank page!Saving State on the PhoneFortunately, Windows Phone 7 does provide several mechanisms for saving state. To work with applications on the OS, you’ll need to become familiar with these methods. The options include SQL CE (with the Mango update), a page state dictionary, the application state dictionary and isolated storage. I’ll focus on the last option, isolated storage, but a quick review of the first three will help shed light on why Sterling is useful on the phone.SQL CE The Mango update will provide SQL CE, a compact version of the popular SQL Server database. The difference between this database and the other options listed here is that SQL is a relational database. It relies on special table formats that must be mapped from your classes and controls. Object-oriented databases can take the existing class structures—even when they include nested classes, lists and other types—and serialize them without any additional mapping or modifications.Page State Each Page object provides a State property that exposes a dictionary that’s defined by key names and related objects. Any key or object may be used, but the object must be serializable, and then only shallow (top level) serialization occurs. In addition, the page state only allows for up to 2MB of data per page (4MB for the entire application) and can only be used after the start of the OnNavigatedTo and before the OnNavigatedFrom methods on the page. This limits the practical use to simple value types. The fact that it can only function within the page navigation methods makes it a poor choice for patterns such as Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) that synchronize the view state using a separate ViewModel.Application State This is also a dictionary. Like the page state, it takes a string key and an object value, and the object must be serializable. The application object on the phone has a Deactivated event called when tombstoning occurs, and an Activated event called when the application returns from the tombstone state. The application state can be accessed anytime between activation and deactivation. It’s accessed using the static PhoneApplicationService class (there’s a Current property that references a single application-wide instance). There’s no documented limit to the size of the application state dictionary, but at some point attempting to store too many items will result in an unhandled COM exception being thrown.Isolated Storage This is by far the most flexible option for maintaining state. Isolated storage isn’t unique to the phone, and in fact works almost exactly the same way in Silverlight and in the Microsoft .NET Framework runtime. Isolated storage provides a layer of abstraction from the host file system, so instead of dealing with direct file storage, you interface with an indirect mechanism that provides folders and files in an isolated sandbox. In Windows Phone 7, that sandbox is isolated to the level of your phone application. You may access the storage anywhere from within the application, but not from any other application on the phone.Isolated storage also has some powerful advantages. While it does provide a settings dictionary similar to the page and application settings described earlier, it also allows you to organize data in folders and as files. In fact, any type of file—XML, binary or text—can be created and accessed in isolated storage. There’s no quota for the size of isolated storage on the phone, so you’re effectively limited by the amount of memory and storage available on the phone. The only drawback is that the process of writing to storage and retrieving from storage is somewhat slower than the other methods that store the lists in active memory.
This is the test that can be performed during Activation. If the test fails it means that we have to reload everything.
