Windows Phone performance analysis & optimization during TechDays
.Net, Silverlight, Windows Phone January 27th, 2012
In about 2 weeks now, I’ll have the chance to be part of the French TechDays in Paris as a speaker. This year, I’ll own a session called “Windows Phone performance analysis & optimisation” with my colleague Charlotte.
The agenda looks like the following:
- why performance analysis ?
- device vs emulator
- leveraging WP7 threads
- using the VS profiler for WP7
- tips and tricks
During the session we will use a “real” app we’re working on for a few months now (I’ll share more details after the session). We have some cool tips that haven’t been shared anywhere before, so if performance is a topic of interest for you, stat tuned !

I’m planning to share the most of the content of this session on my blog soon after the event.
Don’t hesitate to stop by and say hi…

[...] “MVVM Applied, From Silverlight to Windows Phone to Windows 8” (in Belgium and Netherlands) The goal of this session was to make people feel confident that the skills they acquired working in various XAML frameworks (Silverlight, Windows Phone, WPF, Surface, etc) are going to help them tremendously when developing Windows 8 applications. It was a session packed with code, where we went from a Silverlight 5 application, added design time experience, reworked the design in Expression Blend, then created an application reusing most of the code in Windows Phone (including design time experience in Blend), and then created a WinRT application which, again, reused most of the code (including design time experience in the Visual Studio Designer). Of course the sample code uses the MVVM Light Toolkit in order to make the coding easier, and to maximize code reuse. I also showed techniques to keep as much compatible code as possible between the frameworks, and abstract the differences. For instance, Windows 8 is more asynchronous than Silverlight (which was already more asynchronous than WPF, remember the discussions around the lack of synchronous web requests in Silverlight?
