Is there any library to run a WebSocket server on Windows Phone 8? Or samples?
There is the SuperWebSocket library (http://superwebsocket.codeplex.com) but it does not support the .NET for Windows Phone 8.

I want to develop windows phone 8 app using Phonegap. I have used phonegap for Android and iOS and it works fine. As per my research, I have found some prerequisites to develop WP8 apps using phonegap are:
Node.js
Windows phone SDK
IE10
A 64-bit version of Windows 8 Pro
Windows Phone SDK
Visual Studio 2012 Professional, Premium, or Ultimate
I have windows 7 installed on my system. My question is: Can I develop WP8 apps using phonegap in Windows 7. I have not found any material regarding this.
Thanks.
When developing locally (ex: using Visual Studio, the Cordova CLI, Ionic CLI, or PhoneGap CLI local builds), these are the requirements per MSDN re: Windows Phone 8.0 SDK:
Windows Phone SDK 8.0 requires 64-bit Windows 8 Pro or higher. You
can't develop Windows Phone 8 apps on Windows 7, on Windows Server
2008, or on Windows Server 2012. The Windows Phone 8 Emulator has
special hardware, software, and configuration requirements. For more
info, see System requirements for the emulator for Windows Phone 8.
I am developping application using windows phone 8 sdk and I wonder if this application can work on device that use windows phone 8.1?
Yes, Windows Phone 8 app can continue to run on Windows Phone version 8.1.
But there are some compatibility and breaking changes you can check here.
I connected the windows phone 8 to windows 8 machine through usb via microsoft smart phone connectivity v4.0_11.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a dll. Its working fine.
but i tried the same with windows 7 machine its not working ( As there are no dlls on windwos 7) I copied the dll's from windows 8 machine to windows 7 machine but now its giving me the error for class ID is not registeerd. I tried to register the dll's but no lick.
I tried to use older version of connectivity dll ( v4.0_10.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a) then it detects only windows phone 7 so it is not detecting my windows phone 8 apps.
Please suggest.
This will probably never work as you're trying to install bits of the WP8 SDK piecemeal into Windows 7, which is not supported.
For WP8 apps you need Windows 8 OS.
I have a requirement to port a C# application developed on Win CE to Windows Phone 8. Can we port directly from Win CE, or do we need to tweak/develop from scratch?
Microsoft provides porting resources from a few platforms (Android, iOS, and XAML, as of this writing). Windows CE is not among them.
All you can do is to create the app from the scratch using the Windows Phone 8 API
in Visual Studio 2012.
Is it possible to install the Windows Phone 8 SDK on Windows Server 2008 R2 so it can be used as a build server?
It was possible for the Windows Phone 7 SDK, but the newer SDK has more stringent requirements (most due to the emulator which is not needed for a build machine, and Windows 8).
Windows Phone 8 has a dependency on Windows 8 due to the use of WinRT APIs. Therefore Windows Server 2008 R2 is unlikely to work, but Windows Server 2012 should be fine as it shares the same kernel as Windows 8
