Just a quick question.

I have noticed that there are some missing things to the .NET framework in windows-phone-7. For instance, the library "System.Servicemodel.Syndication".

Is there a reason for this? And is there an easy way to get it back?

Thanks

A: 

No. Win phone 7 is based on silverlight which is a subset of the full .net framework.

there's no way i can import them via DLL or something?

There is a Silverlight 3 version of this in the Silverlight 3 Toolkit, although I have not tried it personally yet the Silverlight 3 Syndication DLL for RSS feeds etc should work.Windows Phone 7 is based on Silverlight 3 so most Silverlight 3 DLLs that use something the phone supports should work.

Hi Peanut,

WP7 exposes - a subset of the .net framework - a sub/superset of the silverlight 3 framework as is suitable for the phone - and xna

These doucments cover the specifics of what is available and what is different at this stage of the SDK's development.
