How to Save an EMail Address in Windows Phone 7 Via WCF Service

Today, in this article let's play around by implementing one of the interesting concepts often used on a day-to-day basis in Windows Phone.
So, let's get it started now. 

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 Save_Email_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]
        string Email(string a);
    }
}

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 Save_Email_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 string Email(string a)

        {

            return "" + a;
        }
    }
}

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>

The Complete Code of MainPage.xaml looks like this:

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
    x:Class="Save_Email_App.MainPage"

        <StackPanel x:Name="TitlePanel" Grid.Row="0" Margin="12,17,0,28">
            <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationTitle" Text="Vijay's Save Email Application" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="22" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}"/>
            <TextBlock x:Name="PageTitle" Text="Windows 7 Phone" Margin="9,-7,0,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle1Style}"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <!--ContentPanel - place additional content here-->
        <Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
            <TextBox Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="109,84,0,0" Name="textBox1"  VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="279" />
            <TextBlock Height="30" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="22" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="142,48,0,0" Name="textBlock1" Text="Please Enter Email" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
            <Button Content="Save" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="22" Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="168,162,0,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="160" Click="button1_Click" />

        </Grid>
    </Grid> 

    <!--Sample code showing usage of ApplicationBar-->
    <!--<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>
        <shell:ApplicationBar IsVisible="True" IsMenuEnabled="True">
            <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton IconUri="/Images/appbar_button1.png" Text="Button 1"/>
            <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton IconUri="/Images/appbar_button2.png" Text="Button 2"/>
            <shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
                <shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text="MenuItem 1"/>
                <shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text="MenuItem 2"/>
            </shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
        </shell:ApplicationBar>
    </phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>-->

</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>

The Complete Code of MainPage.xaml.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using Save_Email_App.ServiceReference1;
using Microsoft.Phone.Tasks;

namespace Save_Email_App
{
    public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
    {
        // Constructor
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (textBox1.Text == "")
            {
                textBlock2.Text = "Please Enter Email";
                textBlock2.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
            }
            else
            {
                Service1Client objClient = new Service1Client();
                objClient.EmailCompleted += new EventHandler<EmailCompletedEventArgs>(EmailCall);
                objClient.EmailAsync(textBox1.Text); 
            }
        }

        static void EmailCall(object sender, EmailCompletedEventArgs e)
       {
            SaveEmailAddressTask objEmailTask = new SaveEmailAddressTask();
            objEmailTask.Email = e.Result;
            objEmailTask.Show();
        }
    }
}

The Output of the Application looks like this:
