I managed to put an advertisement on the 'Enter Todays Weight' page. And I will put one on the chart page. I do wonder if this is the right route to take though. Probably every developer does.
The 'Enter Todays Weight page is near completion. When you enter the weight you are taken to the chart page, that seems very satisfying as a process and I think it works very well. There is one issue currently, the user can add as many weights for the day as they wish, and they are stored with the time as well, but it does mess up the chart for a user if they do this. It doesn't look so good.
The next page has to be the edit page. List all the weight entries and allow the user to edit or delete an entry. I like the feeling that its getting close to completion.
I would like in the future to create a paid for version that does not have advertising. I need to start a list of future development features.

WP7 Examples
The page from MSDN for the phone samples.
Code Samples for Windows Phone
I was looking here because I wanted to show an advertisement in the panorama control, next to the chart. But I wanted to show a full height advertisement. It seems that is not possible.

Progress with entering today's weight
I am creating a page to enter today's weight. I have a nice weight entry process that allows the user to select a single digit and change it. As, most of the time a persons weight is only changing by a few hundred grams a day. Only on digit has to change. Its a drop down selector for each of the digits that make up the persons weight. The date is auto filled with today's date.
Only, I am not sure where the user should go after entering the weight. Should I direct the user to the chart, so they can see progress. Or should I just return them to the main menu.
I could also go through a feedback page on that days weight entry.
Next I have to enable the editing of the weight collection. Then we should be able to do a first release.

SOLID Software Development Priniciples
Generaly reading around today, led me to this excelent pdf about SOLID.
Solid Software Development Principals SOLID I have read it all before and act on it. But its always good to remind myself. Also on one of my previous contracts I was acting as Software Development mentor, and when I mentioned SOLID I got a bunch of blank stares. This document would have been useful then.

Adding missing DLL's to WP 7.1 Application
I had a missing dll in the phone app today. This blog post was were I was trying to get a resolution. I am not there yet. But I want to record this link here for reference tomorrow.
http://www.scottseely.com/Blog/11-05-08/Adding_the_lsquo_other_rsquo_WP7_Libraries_to_your_VS_2010.aspx
This did not resolve the issue. I also tried adding ALL thsoe dlls as references, and it still did not resolve the issue. I think I may have to re-create the dev environment.
