How to check Permission for Location Tracking?

Question

In Windows Phone 7 we can look for permission granted status for bing map with something like

                        GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.Default);
                        if (watcher.Permission == GeoPositionPermission.Granted)...

but given Metro Style app I am not able to find similar. Where is it located in the API hierarchy?

Answer 1

My bad, that's how you do it,

Geolocator geolocator = new Geolocator();

Check geolocator.LocationStatus against Windows.Devices.Geolocation.PositionStatus enum to check if location permission is granted at all...
