This sample demonstrates how to suspend, shut down and resume your application using the Suspension Manager.
Specifically, this sample covers:
- Saving state when the app is suspended or shut down.
- Restoring state when the app is resumed from suspension or reactivated after being shut down.
From the Visual Studio debugging toolbar, use the Lifecycle Events menu to trigger suspend and resume events.
Note The Universal Windows app samples require Visual Studio 2015 to build and Windows 10 to execute.
To obtain an insider copy of Windows 10, go to Windows 10.
Note For Windows 10 app samples, go to Windows 10 Samples. The samples for Windows 10 can be built and run using Windows developer tools.
