Abstract

When you’re ready to program your Windows Phone application in Visual Studio 2010, you’ll know what general features your application will provide. Each of the major application features will need to be accessible via a shortcut or some form of a navigation menu. For Windows Phone applications, Microsoft recommends that you use a standard Windows Phone Application Bar to provide shortcuts for most common tasks within the application. Metro UI design concepts for Windows Phones were covered in Part 1 of this book. The use of an Application Bar within the application helps ensure that these guidelines are properly observed.
