SupportedOrientations="Portrait"

Question

I have a page which has SupportedOrientations="Portrait" Orientation="Portrait" when I rotate the emulator the the page turns into landscape mode. I have a second page with the same settings and rotating the emulator does not change the orientation. Am I missing something simple?

Answer 1

I'm surprised that the first page rotates.  To allow landscape, use:

SupportedOrientations="PortraitOrLandscape"

Answer 2

Hi Xenacode,

I've seen some odd behaviour that's resolved by restarting the emulator. Let us know if that helps.

Answer 3

No, unfortunately that doesn't make any difference, the same issue happens on a physical device too.

Answer 4

Can this issue be reproduced in an empty project?

Answer 5

has this ever been resolved since i have the same issue with a lumia 920 

code is 

    SupportedOrientations="Portrait" Orientation="Portrait"

however app rotates with phone to landscape.  This is preventing the app developing further so any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers

Answer 6

Found the solution.

If you build a default app using blend in the MainPage.xaml.vb page there is

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()

        SupportedOrientations = SupportedPageOrientation.Portrait OR LANDSCAPE

 

 option which overrides the SupportedOrientations="Portrait" Orientation="Portrait" on the *.xaml page

simply delete the OR statement in the MainPage.xaml.vb and viola!
