I am migrating my Windows Phone App to Windows Universal Apps. In my phone app, there was an attribute Support Orientation for which we can set value Portrait and Landscape.I want to achieve the same in Windows 8.1 App of Universal Apps. Even if the person rotated his/her tablet in landscape mode, my app should not get Rotated.

Please help me how can I achieve this?

Thanks

You can set the AutoRotationPreferences property in the DisplayInformation class.

DisplayInformation.AutoRotationPreferences = DisplayOrientations.Portrait;

You should only need to set this property once in your application.
