Building Windows Phone appointment viewer application
{download the application complete source code from your Telerik account (register here for free if you are new to Telerik)} One of the great new features in the new Windows Phone OS, codenamed "Mango" is that developers have access to the device appointments.

Generating Documentation with JustCode
If you enjoy writing documentation from scratch, this article may not be for you. If you like removing as much repetitive work as possible, then JustCode can help you out.

The first is Generate Documentation which handles the XML comments for methods and types. The second is a new feature, Introduce Header, which was made available on May 3rd with internal build 1.
