SLXNA plus the acclerometer are a bad combination on WP7. I cannot lock down either landscape left or right so the screen will rotate. I tried to counter this using a rendertarget2d but this didn’t work one hundred percent because the click regions of the buttons are still flipped 180 degrees.
Any ideas?
Thanks

As of right now it seems that this is a missing feature/bug with the SLXNA platform. There is no way to force the screen to be a specific landscape orientation. It will continue to flip between OrientationLeft and OrientationRight. There are several workarounds to this problem that I have devised, but none of them are ideal and all of them have their limitations. The best that I have found so far is to override the following function
in the Microsoft.Phone.Controls namespace. Then have a variable inside to keep track of the orientation changes. Then instead of rendering directly to a SpriteBatch render to a Rendertarget and then rotate it according to the variable you just modified. Now there is a drawback to this method and it is a big one: any touch controls do not flip. So you’ll have a bunch of weird errors with the touch controls and buttons not lining up, but as of the moment this appears to be the best workaround.
