I have installed the WP 7.0 tools – the installation package comes with the Visual Studio Express and WP 7.0 SDK. Now I would like to install the WP 7.5 Beta2 SDK (Mango).
- After installation – will I be able to select the target SDK for the application (like e.g. in the Android Eclipse) or not?
- Will the new update replace the old SDK?
- How I can specify the target OS version for the application?
In the release notes is mentioned that “If you have Windows Phone Developer Tools 7.0 installed, you do not need to uninstall it before installing Windows Phone SDK 7.5 Beta 2.” Does it means I will be able to select the target SDK for my application?
With both installed, when creating a new project it asks you which version you want to target.
You can also change the version from the project properties for existing projects.
I have released a couple of 7.0 app updates built with the 7.5 tools, there are no problems I have encountered yet.
