Page Transitions for Universal XAML Pages

Sat, 07 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Normally, if you want different page transitions (NavigationThemeTransition ) for your Universal XAML Windows Phone 8.1 app, you’d set it on the page’s XAML directly. For example, let’s do a ContinuumTransition:

<Page.Transitions> 
 <TransitionCollection> 
 <NavigationThemeTransition> 
 <NavigationThemeTransition.DefaultNavigationTransitionInfo> 
 <ContinuumNavigationTransitionInfo /> 
 </NavigationThemeTransition.DefaultNavigationTransitionInfo> 
 </NavigationThemeTransition> 
 </TransitionCollection> 
</Page.Transitions>

However, if you have a XAML page in your Universal app’s shared folder, you can’t use XAML because page transitions are not available for Windows 8.1 apps. Since there isn’t a conditional compilation for XAML, we’ll need to do it from the code behind.
