Display orientation sample

This sample demonstrates the use of the DisplayInformation class for retrieving the display orientation and setting an app's auto-rotation orientation preferences.

Specifically, this sample shows how to:

  • Read the native display orientation.
  • Read the current display orientation.
  • Respond to changes in display orientation.
  • Set auto-rotation orientation preferences.

This sample does not show how to adjust accelerometer data based on the display orientation. For a demonstration of how to perform the adjustment, see the Orientation Changed scenario of the the Accelerometer sample.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2015 to build and Windows 10 to execute.

To obtain information about Windows 10 development, go to the Windows Dev Center

To obtain information about Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and the tools for developing Windows apps, go to Visual Studio 2015
