Question

I’ve noticed that some examples of WinRT applications conflict a bit in how they reference the resource settings

For some:

<common:LayoutAwarePage ...>
<common:LayoutAwarePage.Resources ...>

But I’ve also seen (Where LayoutAwarePage of course inherits Page)

<common:LayoutAwarePage ...>
<Page.Resources ...>

Which one of these is correct? What’s the difference?

Answer 1

If you look at the source of the LayoutAwarePage.cs you’ll notice that the LayoutAwarePage is a Page. I think it’s somewhat odd that they would reference the resources of the parent class and recommend you use common:LayoutAwarePage.Resources.
