The PhoneApplicationPage
class includes two orientation related properties: SupportedOrientations
and Orientation
.
The SupportedOrientations
attribute allows you to restrict the orientation of the page and, if set to either Portrait
or Landscape
, prevent the orientation from being changed when the device is rotated. If the page is designed to support both portrait and landscape, set SupportedOrientation
to PortraitOrLandscape
, which allows the orientation to be switched automatically when the device is rotated.
The Orientation
property indicates the actual orientation of the page and can be set only at design time. The Orientation
property is discussed in greater detail later in the chapter.
When you create a new PhoneApplicationPage
within Visual Studio, both SupportedOrientations
and Orientation
are set, by default, to Portrait in XAML.
