Let's Play around with Pivot Control in Windows Phone 7 via WCF Service

Introduction

Today, in this article let' dig out with one more wonderful concept in windows phone whereby communicating with WCF Service to perform some expected arithmetic operation. Once Implemented, it gives flexibility to the user to access phone pivot features and perform expected operation in much easy manner.

Question Arises: What is Pivot Control?

In Simple Terms "It is a simple light-weighted control which enables phone user to manage or navigate across different pages very easily. It enables the tasks to be turned on easily. It can be viewed from left to right or right to left depends upon screen touch scrolling by the user."

So, let's get it started off!!!

Step 1: The Complete Code of IService1.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace Pivot_WCF
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IService1
    {
        [OperationContract]
        double Add(double a, double b);

        [OperationContract]
        double Sub(double a, double b);

        [OperationContract]
        double Mul(double a, double b);

        [OperationContract]
        double Div(double a, double b);

    }
} 

Step 2: The Complete Code of Service1.svc.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace Pivot_WCF
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.
    public class Service1 : IService1
    {

        public double Add(double a, double b)
        {
            return a + b;
        }

        public double Sub(double a, double b)
        {
            return a - b;
        }

        public double Mul(double a, double b)
        {
            return a * b;
        }

        public double Div(double a, double b)
        {
            return a / b;
        }
    }
}

Step 3: The Complete Code of Web.Config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
  </system.web>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior>
          <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true.  Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
  </system.serviceModel>
  <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
  </system.webServer>

</configuration> 

Step 4: The Complete Code of MainPage.xaml looks like this:
