Accessing Windows Phone 7 database externally - database

I've just started working on Windows Phone. Can anyone help me access my project database?
I've tried with ISETool.exe
I did this:
ISETool.exe ts xd 77a80316-355d-40dc-a8c3-c4054676e85c "C:\Users\user\Desktop\isostore"
but I'm getting an error in cmd:
The application is not installed
I've also tried using WP7 Isolated Storage Explorer from:
http://wp7explorer.codeplex.com/
But it doesnt see any devices or emulators.
It's Windows Phone 7 project. I've opened it in Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 8.
It's frustrating loosing so much time on such a basic thing. Please help!

I've had success with Windows Phone Power Tools in the past. Even though the project is labeled "for WP8" it still works with 7.5 on Windows 8 with the WP8 SDK installed.

Launching WPF App on Windows 10 with .NET 6 runtime does not work

I am publishing a WPF (.NET 6) application with the following settings:
This works, but if my users want to launch the exe-file on their own PC they get an error message: ".NET 6.0 Runtime is not installed".
This makes sense to me because .NET 6 is quiet new.
But even after installing the runtime they still get this message (after restarting their PC).
Only if they install the SDK they can launch the app.
But the SDK should only be fore developers?
Am I publishing my app in the wrong way? How can I run .NET 6 apps with only the runtime installed?
My users are all using Windows 10.
I could resolve my issue with deploying my app as "Self contained". Now the framework is inside the published files.
Everything fine...
However, strange that the initial way did not work. :(
Make sure to get the .NET Desktop Runtime 6 from the Microsoft download page:

Where can I download WPF Performance Suite for Windows 8

The WPF Performance Suite is described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969767.aspx#installing_the_wpf_performance_suite
-> how can I install it on Windows 8?
(the Windows 7 SDK can't be installed and the Windows 8 SDK contains Performance tools such as GPUView but not the WPF profilers "Perforator" and "Visual Profiler".
I googled several hours for it but didn't find anything.
Ok, I have it running under Windows 8, but afaik only for framework 4.
Download the tools (link borrowed from Athari above)
Install and it test. Select visual profiler and attach to a process. If it doesn't appear to work, download this patch from MS.
After installing the patch I now have it working again. This is on Windows 8 pro running on a Dell XPS 17 i7 based machine.
it comes as a pack of Windows Performance Toolkit (WPT) v5 for Windows 8
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wptkv5/thread/090ed47a-f253-4c5a-8dc8-a7923e839815
here is the download
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
I managed to get everything downloaded and working under Windows 10 with a .NET 4.5 WPF app.
Follow instructions from Microsoft at Where to Download WPF Performance Suite? (Perforator, Visual Profiler). You need to install both the app, and its timezone patch.
You must run the WPF profile app before you run the target app.
Try running the target app as Administrator. It needs elevated privileges, or else it will not appear in the Select Process dialog.
If you cannot run the target app as Administrator, then you can still use
Actions..Launch Process to launch it.
Visual Studio 2015 comes with "Timeline", which by my estimation roughly provides the same features as Visual profiler. It can profile WPF on .net4+, including 4.5, 4.6.
It can be started by
To profile a WPF application in Visual Studio 2015 CTP 5, open the Performance and Diagnostics hub from the Debug -> Start Diagnostic Tools Without Debugging (ALT+F2) menu. Select the Application Timeline tool and click Start (You can also run the CPU Usage tool alongside the Application Timeline tool).

ListPicker missing

Consider I'm a newbie in WP7-Silverlight development, so please be patient if I'm asking something really stupid.
Yesterday I decided to start studying WP7, so on my
Windows Seven 64bit
Visual Studio 2010 Professional SP1
I installed all the required tools:
Windows Phone 7 SDK 7.1
Windows Phone 7 SDK 7.1.1 patch
Watching some Microsoft guide I saw ComboBox control that's now missing as you can read in
Drop Down List Windows Phone 7
Problem with Windows Phone ComboBox Style
So I downloaded Silverlight 5 Toolkit - December 2011 and installed it.
Curiously when I start a new WP7-Silverlight application I can't see ListPicker in my toolbox.
So I tried to manually load it in toolbox referencing C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Toolkit\dec11\Bin\System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit.dll, but I get an error stating it's missing some references.
It's something I'm doing wrong, I'm sure... but I really don't know what.
ListPicker exists in Windows Phone toolkit, you downloaded the wrong binaries from codeplex,

debug an xbap on firefox?

I am starting to write an xbap (wpf web app).
I create a new project and run it and Firefox fails (it just keeps trying to open it with "Windows Presentation Foundation Host).
I know that Firefox and Microsoft don't really see eye to eye, but surely there is a way to do this now days?
Saw this post that shows a hack of copying out a DLL from a Windows XP machine. But my users will not do that (I don't even want to do that!)
Does this mean I have to abandon Firefox as my default browser until I am done developing my xbap?
NOTE: I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Firefox 3.6.12
I don't know what exactly your problem is, but here is a Scott Hanselman blog post detailing a WPF application deployed as an XBAP (not XBAB) using VS 2008 with .NET 3.5. It doesn't say anything about WPF 4 (and the .NET 4 runtime, the post is from 2008) or what version of Firefox he was playing with but I hope this demonstrates it is possible and gives you a starting point for more detailed investigations.
Edit - Well, I should have dug a little deeper. It appears that Windows 7 won't support XBAPs in FireFox. There is a Firefox Add-on to Support XBAPs and Loose XAML that is installed with the .NET 3.5 runtime but it is not included in Windows 7 and this link suggests it can't be installed on Windows 7.
You could run IE Tab Plus (Firefox plug-in) and get it to default to IE when you open something from the localhost.

Does not recognize Silverlight 4.0 Install

I am running Win 7 64-bit. I a running IE 9 beta (9.0.7930.16406 )I upgraded to Silverlight 4.0 and for some reason now it does not recognize that I have it installed when I go to Silverlight required web sites.
In my control panel – it clearly states that I have 4.0 installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled this as well. However when I go to sites that require silverlight it does not recognize that have Silverlight installed. And of course when I try to click on install Silverlight I get the following error: "The same version of silverlight is installed"
Interesting information – I was able to create another account on my computer and get things working. So this is something tied to my login ID. And yes I am admin on this box.
Any ideas?
Are you launching the 32-bit or the 64-bit Internet Explorer process? Silverlight only works in 32-bit browsers.
