Launchers and Choosers

Windows Phone Applications are not able to directly access common stores of information, such as the contacts list, or directly use Windows Phone functionality, such as the camera, phone calls or messaging. To enable applications to provide these common tasks to their users, the Windows Phone 7 application model exposes a launchers and choosers API which provides indirect access to these useful phone features. This hands-on lab walks you through the launchers and choosers concepts as implemented in the Windows Phone 7 application model and covers the different launchers and choosers available in this release.
