The sample for the ConnectionSettingsTask allows you to select one of the ConnectionSettingsType values from a Windows Phone Toolkit ListPicker control (see Figure 14.4). Tapping the Settings button in the application bar executes an ICommand in the viewmodel, which initializes and calls the Show method of the ConnectionSettingsTask.
