On Windows Phone, your application may be deactivated while the Contacts application is in the foreground. To ensure that your application receives the result of the EmailAddressChooserTask the object must be declared with class scope within the PhoneApplicationPage class and you must call the chooser constructor and assign the Completed event delegate within the page’s constructor. |
