Supported Orientation, Monogame, Windows Phone 8

Question

I am developing a game in which I need to rotate the screen on Landscape mode or Portrait, and lock it that way.

In Monogame, targeting Windows Phone 8.1 adding this code:

Graphics.SupportedOrientations = DisplayOrientation.LandscapeLeft | DisplayOrientation.LandscapeRight;
            Graphics.ApplyChanges();

Was enough, but in Monogame, targeting Windows Phone 8 I can switch from Portrait mode to Landscape, even if I put the code above in the game constructor.

How can I stop/freeze the user from chaning the orientations on a specific category in my game?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Go to your package manifest. There should be the options for screen orientation. Uncheck the portrait.
