What's the equivalent of ViewPort in WinRT XAML?

Question

What would be the equivalent to the following line of code, but in XAML?

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; user-scalable=false;">

I want my app to be portable and be "good enough" to look regardless of the user's monitor. At the same time I am not keen on spending too much time on targeting diverse screen resolution that deviates from norm.

Is there a way to simply scale the content of an XAML app like I could a web app?

Answer 1

There is no direct equivalent. In some Scenarios, Viewbox is a good replacement. But in my opinion you should reconsider your approach because it won't be "good enough", especially when dealing with touch and touch target sizes . You may also encounter usability issues when the user wants to use your app side by side with other apps (split screen).
