Navigate to my store in Store app in WP8

Question

i want to add a button to my xaml page which will navigate to my store in store app, something like :

private void hotGame_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
         // code go here
    }

and my store link looks like this

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/store/publishers?publisherId=GameXP%2BStudio&appId=a18e8dec-e69b-414d-9cb5-80c5a264d8eb

i just don't know if WP8 can navigate to another app (in this case is Store app) ?

Answer 1

You could simply invoke a WebBrowserTask ..

    WebBrowserTask webBrowserTask = new WebBrowserTask();
    webBrowserTask.Uri = new Uri("http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/store/publishers?publisherId=GameXP%2BStudio&appId=a18e8dec-e69b-414d-9cb5-80c5a264d8eb
", UriKind.Absolute);
    webBrowserTask.Show();

OR the MarketPlaceDetailsTask ..

MarketplaceDetailTask marketplaceDetailTask = new MarketplaceDetailTask();
marketplaceDetailTask.ContentIdentifier = "a18e8dec-e69b-414d-9cb5-80c5a264d8eb";
marketplaceDetailTask.ContentType = MarketplaceContentType.Applications;
marketplaceDetailTask.Show();
