I'm under the impression that you can't do that because snapping can only be initiated by a user. you can unsnap, but that should only be done as a last resrouce...

Hi,

I think this is controlled by user.

Your app can use ApplicationLayout.TryUnsnap to unsnap a snapped view. But it seems no way to forcibly start as snapped view.

Otherwise, you can refer to another similar thread http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winappsuidesign/thread/4e040026-5bce-4dca-8a98-0d6987318c9e.
