WP7: How to debug application when it is started by Secondary Tile of phone's start page?

Question

I have an application which can create Secondary Tile on start page. I need to debug application when it is run from that tile. How to do that?

Answer 1

I do this debugging by changing the entry in the WMAppManifest.xml file to a xaml address which matches the secondary tile:

e.g. I change

<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="MainPage.xaml" />

to:

<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="MyDeepLinkPage.xaml?SpecialId=1234" />

If you don't want to do it in Xaml then you could also intercept the RootFrame's navigating event in your app.xaml.cs code
