METRO STYLE APPS - SNAPPING

Question

i do not know exactly how this works. do you rewrite the layout code, in the even that the screen is snapped?

or is it done automatically , when the event is called.

Answer 1

You have to respond to view state changes by changing the layout via code.  I think this page explains what you need to know and do to respond to view state changes http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465343.aspx
