A nice feature we had in the Windows phone days was the ability to plug in your device and test your code running on it, if you had more than one device (about 7 in my case) then you just had to swap the device over and you were off again, however this did have some drawbacks, namely:
- The device had to be tethered to the PC to deploy / debug
- You couldn’t do disconnected debugging using the device’s Wi-Fi/3G connections with it tethered
Now enter Win 8 and they have taken the debug options up a notch building on the remote debugging features of VS pro and above by allowing you to install a client on the target machine and push your apps to it and debug them, all without a single wire (unless you count the power cord). Even better is this facility is also available in the express editions.
