One of the requirements for a Windows Phone 7 application that I am writing is to handle the app going into standby and back when something interrupts it (e.g. a phone call). This is called "tombstoning" an application. Is there a way to simulate this behavior on the emulator? It will be fairly difficult to test unless we can either do this or get an actual phone (the latter of which is a trifle difficult).

+6  A: 

You can simulate tombstoning by simply pushing (clicking) on the start or search "hardware" buttons on the emulator. This will cause your app to be "tombstoned".

There is no way to simulate incoming calls, etc. on the emulator.

And as soon as one of those two buttons have been pushed, the "hardware" back button will un-tombstone the app.
