Exceptions

Remarks

The UserExtendedProperties API exposes two properties: ANID and ANID2.

• ANID can only be accessed from Windows Phone OS 7.0 and Windows Phone OS 7.1 apps that use the Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows Phone.

• ANID2 can only be accessed from Windows Phone 8 apps.

The string returned by the ANID and ANID2 properties contains the anonymous identifier and is 32 characters long.

GetValue(String) will either return a non-null object containing the requested value or it will throw one of the exceptions listed in this topic. TryGetValue(String, Object%) provides the same functionality as GetValue(String), but uses a different syntax you may prefer.

Capabilities
