Run Metro style applications on Simulator


Metro style apps are full-screen and respond to user touch and hardware events like screen rotations. The Visual Studio 11 Beta simulator for Metro style apps is a desktop application that simulates a Windows Metro style app. It enables a developer on a single machine to run Metro style applications and simulate common touch and rotation events. You can also choose the physical screen size and resolution that you want to emulate. Location co-ordinates of user input events in the simulator are translated to the co-ordinates of the select size and resolution.

Together with Visual Studio, the simulator provides an environment in which you can design, develop, debug, and test Metro style apps. However, before you publish your app to the Windows Store, you should test your app on an actual device.

*Also apply on on Visual Studio 11 Express Beta for Windows 8



- To enable Simulator, simple select Simulator as the target debug device.
