Telerik RadAnimations in Windows Phone 7 Via WCF Service

Introduction

Today, in this article let's learn another new and interesting concept related to Windows Phone 7, whereby communicating with WCF Service to perform some operation.

The Telerik Rad Controls for Windows Phone 7 can be downloaded from http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-phone.aspx.

Question: What is RadAnimation?

In simple terms "It provides rich UI based Animation, where it grabs user attention in slicky way. Ex: Fade, Move, Resize and many more".

Let's get this implemented practically for a better idea on this!!

Step 1: The complete code of the 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 Rad_WCF_Animation
{
    // 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 the 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 Rad_WCF_Animation
{
    // 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 the 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>
