It is necessary to use the PhoneApplicationFrame and PhoneApplicationPage types when developing your application and not the standard Silverlight Frame and Page types. For more information, see PhoneApplicationFrame and PhoneApplicationPage. However, there are types and members from the standard Silverlight Frame and Page classes that can still be used from the System.Windows.Controls and System.Windows.Navigation namespaces. These are documented in the Class Library Reference for Windows Phone. Such examples include: |
Phone Application Frame
A PhoneApplicationFrame integrates with the Windows Phone look and feel so that it appears like any other application. Only a single frame is available to the application with no exceptions. A frame includes the following characteristics:
-
Exposes the screen orientation property
-
Exposes a client area where pages are rendered
-
Reserves space for the status bar and application bar
