WP 7.5 - How can I test tombstoning?

Question

In WP 7.0 it was easy to test the tombstone system - I'd hit the camera button then press back to get a tombstone/resume. In WP 7.5 the app goes dormant for awhile, but appears to tombstone at an indeterminate time. Is it possible to force this situation for testing?

Answer 1

You can test tombstoning using the emulator (this may even work on the phone I haven't tested it). Under the project properties, on the "Debug" panel, there is a checkbox named "Tombstone upon deactivation while debugging".

This setting will force the app to tombstone in the way it did before when the debugger is attached.
