End-to-end samples
[ This article is for Windows 8.x and Windows Phone 8.x developers writing Windows Runtime apps. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation ]
These end-to-end samples, with complete source code and accompanying documentation, can help you to build your own Windows Store apps. The samples demonstrate using multiple features and calling APIs across multiple namespaces and are intended to show a richer user experience and do more things than many of our other Windows Store app samples.
Samples
