will Dvd profiler 3.6 be compatible with windows phone 7? If not, is there a new version in preparation?

Great that someone is working on it! I have a WP7 phone and would love to have my collection back on my device. What marketplace rules doesn't your app comply with? Is it too far away?
Thanks     

With a bit of rewrite of DVD Profiler Mobile, it should be possible for it to work on both Win7 and Win6.x.

Both windows mobile 5, 6 and 7 do all run .NET applications.
What's different is as lmoelleb wrote, the way you do UI.

Windows mobile 5 and 6 used winforms CE (In theory this should also work on Windows 7) and Windows mobile 7 uses Silverlight.

Changing the existing code of DVD Profiler Mobile to not have any logic in the UI, you can make a DLL with all the logic and compile a lightweigh .exe with the ui.

Making it like this, it will be possible to support both platforms with lesser work than you would have to use to port it all to Windows 7.

I am thinking of upgrading to a windows 7 phone but am holding off till DVD profilier mobile gets up and running. Still using my win 2003 mobile.

Current status:

I got my phone (I gave up waiting for decent hardware and got the only one with 16GB I could get my hand on), I do not know why the stupid phone manufactures think Europeans need less data storage - do they think a bit takes less space over here?

I am currently awaiting GeoTrust to issue a developer certificate (obviously I managed to run into Thanksgiving - bad Asian hardware and slow American registration procedure, I smell a conspiracy)

Until my phone is unlocked I am working on a REST plugin to DVD Profiler that will give the phone something to synchronize against, without having to host something in a web server.

Once i get the phone unlocked for development use (and finished the REST interface) I'll address any performance issues present on the real hardware (I am quite certain there will be some).

I am not really able to decode the Microsoft document concerning the market place, so I still do not know if it can be uploaded there. If it can I will (as a free app, or at the lowest price possible depending on how big a hazzle it is - but I am not doing this to make money). If it can't be uploaded, it might be possible to install it using the unlock stuff just released. If this doesn't work out either, I'll give away the xap so everyone with a development unlocked phone can use the app.

The app will have every option and feature you can think off.... as long as you only think of things I find useful and easy to implement. Even if adding a small feature seems triviel, once you do it for a hundred users you are basically up to a full scale overblown app.

If and when Ken release a WP7 app, expect this one to be pulled (just like I did with my old Win mobile app when Ken finally released his). I have no intention of competing with Ken (and if he wants, he can obviously get the source code for my app). I just want access to my collection.

No, I have no idea how long it will take to get to a releasable version

Some progress - the plugin is now runnin in DVD Profiler allowing the app to communicate directly with DVD Profiler (no web server needed). What is left now is:

1) Page transitions - half way there but some bugs still present
2) Still need to do some cleanup in the synchronization process (delete old profiles) and run a bunch of test to see how it goes with the multithreading (it's prone to errors, luckily I am experienced in these kinds of things, so I an normally fix issues I find in something betyween an hour and half a year).
3) Test it on a real phone (unfortunately Microsoft chose an incompetent partner for issuing certificates, so even one week in they have not been able to do so - I guess they where cheap, or the alternatives even more incompetent). I exepct a number of performance related issues, no idea how long these will take to fix.
4) Do all the packaging up etc.  This is normally something a developer reserves 5 minutes for, and typically it takes around a week full time

A bit of progress - I moved the synchronization to it's own screen so it won't have to update the list as it's updating. It still takes a long time to do the initial synchronization, but at least it now looks decent while you wait.

Next up is the list performance.

Got the list performing acceptable (at the cost of thumbnails not loading while scrolling).

The good news are:
* The sort order popup selector is done - now sort order is changed using a pivot control as you would expect.
* I use a list control that should allow me to add "group jumps" easily (so jump to letter in the alphabet for title sort order or a year for the production year sort order). I'll play with that next

The not so good news:
I took out filtering and opening a profile while working on this... oh well, shouldn't be too hard to plug in again.

Once this is done, anyone with an unlocked phone can get a copy. I still don't know if I can (be bothered) to release it on the market place, but I'll certainly need to work on page transitions etc before I can move on with anything serious.
