Hi everybody!

Wanted to share a small recipe for Git and SVN. Perhaps it is not the best one, but is the one that I found to work for me. However, if you have any other ideas or suggestions on how to improve or do it in any other way, please leave a comment below.

I use Git as my main revision tool. However I have a project where I use some submodules from codeplex.com and I usually clone the source code directly from the SVN repo at codeplex.

By doing this, I found the following problem:
After cloning and including the submodules in my projects, how can I continue to update them from SVN?

Mango is coming out soon, so I finally updated the HorizontalLoopingSelector control for the Mango version of the Toolkit.

As always the sample project is available on github or you can download the package containing only the modified files that need to be added to Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit folder.

If you have any comments or question, please leave them in the comments section.

Enjoy!

From MSDN:

Isolated Storage Explorer (ISETool.exe) is a command-line tool that gets installed with the Windows Phone SDK. You use Isolated Storage Explorer to list, copy, and replace files and directories in isolated storage. This enables you to verify that the files are being saved in the correct location with the correct data. Isolated Storage Explorer can be used in the emulator or a device, and can be used for applications that target Windows Phone OS 7.0 and Windows Phone OS 7.1.

This tool is quite helpful when developing applications that rely heavily on saving data into the Isolated Storage. However, using it is quite difficult. You have to get the product id from the manifest xml, type the full path of the ISETool.exe file and also provide a path where to save the snapshots.

The Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone 7 contains a lot of really useful controls. One of them is the LoopingSelector which is used by the DatePicker control.

However the limitation of the current Looping Selector is that expands only vertically.But, I needed to do it horizontally.
