Disable WP7 screen lock?

Question

The netflix app disables the WP7 screen lock / screen saver, so that even if you don't touch the display for an hour the screen still stays active.  With appropriate caveats for this-is-a-bad-idea-except-in-very-rare-circumstances, how is this accomplished?

Answer 1

I know there is a Silverlight API for it (though I forget exactly what it is), but you can use the Guide.ScreenSaveEnabled static property in XNA to accomplish the same thing.

Answer 2

Hi,

Here's the silverlight api.
