PageOrientation Enumeration

July 26, 2012

An enumeration defining the possible orientations of a page.

Namespace: Microsoft.Phone.Controls
Assembly: Microsoft.Phone (in Microsoft.Phone.dll)

public enum PageOrientation

XAML Attribute Usage

<object property="enumerationValue" .../>

Members

	Member name	Description
	None	No orientation is specified.
	Portrait	Portrait orientation.
	Landscape	Landscape orientation.
	PortraitUp	Portrait orientation.
	PortraitDown	Portrait orientation. This orientation is never used.
	LandscapeLeft	Landscape orientation with the top of the page rotated to the left.
	LandscapeRight	Landscape orientation with the top of the page rotated to the right.

Remarks

The ideal way to check for orientation in your application is to check the bit flag Portrait, check the bit flag Landscape, or check for both LandscapeLeft and LandscapeRight. However, you should not check for only LandscapeLeft or only LandscapeRight.
