Windows Phone 7 - Steps for Authenticated Push Notifications

Question

I have looked through lots of different resources via the internet for pre-requisites and implementations of the Authenticated Push Notification mechanism for Windows Phone 7.

I have gone through:

1. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff941099(VS.92).aspx,
2. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg521150(v=VS.92).aspx
3. http://csainty.blogspot.com/2011/01/wp7-authenticated-push-notifications.html

What I am after is the exact steps (1,2,3...) for pre-requisites and implementations of authenticated push notifications.

Also, how would this work at the time of development when we do not have an application available via the Marketplace?

Answer 1

I would recommend downloading the Microsoft Identity Developer Training Kit

It has an WP7 example for doing authentication and push notifications. Its a training kit focused on claims based authentication but has a very nice wp7 training lab section which covers a lot of wp7 features.
