I found this link (Project My Screen).
However, I really want to control a Windows Phone from another Windows 8 or Windows 10 device.
Can I do this?
If not then how can I?
There are no APIs that allow for this. WinRT doesn't have them, and it would require very low-level access to make this happen.

We've just successfully created an accessibility app for android (think screen reader) that works across all applications without needing to first launch a specific app, via the accessibility service.
Is it possible to create an equivalent headless service for Windows Phone? UIAutomation is available for WinRT but I don't think it's available for Windows Phone 8.1 or 10 in the same way. How could I achieve something like this?
It's currently not possible to build a system-wide accessibility app on Windows Phone 8.x (or 10 for that matter). Please consider adding a suggestion on UserVoice.
I have to implement "in-app purchase" both for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8 app. The API looks the same for both platforms, besides one method: "CurrentApp.ReportProductFulfillment" (only WP has it). However, both platforms have "CurrentApp.ReportConsumableFulfillmentAsync".
My preference is to write fully reusable code (same code) for both platforms, if possible. MSDN documentation is not clear enough, so I want to understand:
Can I use ReportConsumableFulfillmentAsync on WP instead of ReportProductFulfillment? Are they have the same functionality? (maybe they left ReportProductFulfillment for backward compatibility).
Do I have to call ReportConsumableFulfillmentAsync after buying consumable only, or after every store purchase?
Thanks!
According to MSDN ReportConsumableFulfillmentAsync is Windows Phone 8.1 API, so you cannot use it when creating Windows Phone 8 apps. Stick with ReportProductFulfillment and Windows Phone 8 apps for now, it will take some time for Windows Phone 8.1 to get on the market
Only for consumables
If your are looking or a nice in-app wrapper, take a look at this https://github.com/igorkulman/Kulman.WP8/blob/master/Kulman.WP8/Services/WindowsPhoneStoreService.cs
I want to add a functionality to connect and print in my application.
Please can someone suggest how can I do that? Is there some API available which can be used to connect the Windows Phone 8 to a printer.
The simplest option available to you will be to use a portable Bluetooth printer. Depending on the actual device you use will impact exactly how to print to it.
Documentation on using Bluetooth with Windows Phone 8 can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj207007(v=vs.105).aspx

I recently started doing some development in the Windows Phone 8 OS I'm pretty new on this. I was doing some searching about the fact to create an app who play any audio for some specific events/actions.
I was reading the Windows Phone API reference from Windows Phone Dev Center http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff626516%28v=vs.105%29.aspx#BKMK_Win32andCOMAPIforWindowsPhone
But it seems a little confusing to me at first glance and I have the doubt of which one of the following should I use to accomplish my task.
The .Net API for Windows Phone
Win 32 and COM API
... or the Windows Phone Runtime API
Any help would be very appreciate
It really depends what you're trying to do. If you're writing a native application or are interested in cross-compatability with Windows 8 then XAudio2 or the WinRT APIs are definitely the way to go. If you just want to play some infrequent sounds (say, when you pop up a warning dialog) from within a XAML app then I have seen a number of approaches, teh easiest of which is probably just having a MediaElement in your XAML that you use to play the audio.
