Question

Windows phone template creates MainPage class but I can’t see where it instantiates it anywhere in source code ?

So how does it work internally ?

Update: In Silverlight, Instantiation can be done in application startup, what would be the equivalent in Windows Phone ?

Answer 1

The only place I could find it was within the WMAppManifest.xml file. I would assume that the OS uses that to navigate to the MainPage when the app is launched.

<Tasks>
  <DefaultTask  Name ="_default" NavigationPage="MainPage.xaml"/>
</Tasks>
