Migrating Windows CE 5.0 user account credentials during update - windows-ce

How are the credentials stored on a Windows CE 5.0 device? The user accounts are stored in the registry at [HKLM\Comm\Security\UserAccounts]. While it was possible with Windows CE 3.0 to copy the accounts from one registry to another this does not work anymore with Windows CE 5.0. Instead one have to register the credentails with NTLMSetUserInfo on each device.
I need to save the credentials, upgrade to the next version of the Windows CE 5.0 platform and restore the credentials. Unfortunately they are not valid anymore. Is there another way to store and/or migrate the credentials? The platform GUID at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows CE Tools] is unchanged.

Azure SDK for .NET (VS2013) 2.5 requires Visual Studio 2013 update 3 or later

I wanted to install Azure 2.5 SDK for VS 2013 and that required updating VS 2013 to Update 3 or later. Update 4 was the recommended one so I installed it. Azure 2.5 SDK installation still broke at the same spot. When I checked about dialog in VS 2013 it said that my current version is 12.0.31101.00 Update 4 but my Extensions and Updates feature still offers me Update 4. When I select this update,Extensions and Updates window says that my current version is 12.0.21005.1 and new version will be the one mentioned above, 12.0.31101.00. Anyone had this kind of issue? Should I install some other version of Azure SDK?
Azure SDK 2.5.1 was released in March 2015. Along with support for Visual Studio 2015 Update 4 this release also updated the SDK for recent changes in the Azure Platform:
Azure Websites was renamed to Azure App Service.
Azure API Apps (Preview) support has been added.
The Websites node in Server Explorer has been deprecated.
Azure Mobile Apps (Preview) support has been added
Add > Azure API App Client gesture now supports local Swagger JSON files
Web App and API App publishing dialogs have been enhanced
Azure API App Server Explorer nodes provide links to the API Apps
There are a few known issues, so make sure you read those before you jump in.

access azure mobile from windows 7 net4.0?

we are using Azure Mobile Service to store some data from Android, iOS and WP8 clients. This works fine.
Is there any way to access this data with .Net 4.0 from Windows 7 ?
The Azure Mobile SDK requires Net 4.5 but we still need to target 4.
The best (and at the same time the hardest) way would be to use the REST API directly. The SDKs are just a wrapper for this API.

Getting Access to Azure Blob Storage from WinRT app

I tried get access to azure blob sotage form my windows 8 app. I see this example, but in him used Windows Azure Storage Client Library for Windows 8, i can' find this library on github, google ect. How can i get an access to blob storagw from my windows 8 app&
Windows Azure Storage Client Library for Windows 8 is the part of Windows Azure Storage Client library for .Net (https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-net). Direct link for RT version: https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/master/microsoft-azure-api/Services/Storage/Lib/RT.
What you would need to do is download the entire source code using the 1st link, open the solution in VS 2012 and build just the RT project. You'll then get the necessary winmd files.
UPDATE:
Actually I downloaded the source code of project from the link you mentioned above and what I found that it does not uses Storage Client Library for Windows 8. It actually uses Windows Azure Mobile Client SDK for Windows 8 which you can download from here: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/downloads/ (Mobile --> Windows Store). Once you do that, then your code should compile. In order to run the application, you would need to create a mobile service first which you can do by visiting Windows Azure Portal and while you're there, get the application key as well (bottom button bar --> Manage Keys). You would need the mobile service URL and the application key so that you can paste them in app.xaml.cs file.
If any one need older Windows Azure Storage Client Library for Windows 8, then you can download from here. Then also I would suggest to download source and compile it.

Windows Azure Access Control and Windows Phone 8

I'm currently developing an app which has single sign on via Windows Azure Access Control Service. I am using the Access Control Service for Windows Phone NUGET package (the same control can also be found in the Windows Azure for Windows Phone toolkit).
I am just wondering if there is a new way of doing this in Windows Phone 8?
These current controls haven't been updated for about a year and a lot seems to have changed since then. I have searched but search engines still seem to be returning Windows Phone 7 results mostly.
Azure Mobile Services (still currently in preview) has new functionality designed to help make user authentication easier. See http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/get-started-with-users-dotnet/

Can my libspotify operate offline?

I have a Windows .Net application integrated successfully with libspotify.dll (Version 11). I would like it to operate in offline mode, i.e. when login responds with UnableToContactServer? If this is possible (Premium Account) how is it best done?
