Popup orientation is not correct. Its 90 degrees rotated.

Question

Hi I have created a popup using Popup class in silverlight. I wrote a class of type UserControl and I added this usercontrol to the popup by using Child method of Popup class.

Following is the XAML code of my UserControl class

<UserControl x:Class="MyProject.PopupWindowContent"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}"
FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeNormal}"            
Foreground="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}" UseLayoutRounding="False" Cursor="Hand">

    <Grid Height="355" Name="grid1" Width="527.5">
        <Image Height="355" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="image1" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="527" Source="/MyProject;component/dialog_bg.png" UseLayoutRounding="True" />
        <Image Height="194" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="13,87,0,0" Name="image2" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="502.5" Source="/MyProject;component/dialog_box_1.png" />
        <Image Height="46" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="25.25,35.25,0,0" Name="image3" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="49.75" Source="/MyProject;component/dialog_logo.png" />
        <TextBlock Height="40" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="153.25,38.75,0,0" Name="popupHeading" Text="TextBlock" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="212" TextAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="26" />
    <Button Content="Submit" Height="71" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="130.75,265.75,0,0" Name="buttonOne" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="132.25" BorderThickness="1" FontSize="18" Foreground="Black">
            <Button.Background>
                <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
                    <GradientStop Color="White" Offset="0" />
                    <GradientStop Color="#FF06EF06" Offset="1" />
                </LinearGradientBrush>
            </Button.Background>
        </Button>
        <Button BorderThickness="1" Content="Cancel" FontSize="18" Foreground="Black" Height="71" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,265.75,142,0" Name="buttonTwo" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="132.25">
            <Button.Background>
                <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
                    <GradientStop Color="White" Offset="0" />
                    <GradientStop Color="#FFEF0606" Offset="1" />
                </LinearGradientBrush>
            </Button.Background>
        </Button>
    <TextBox Height="162.75" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="18,108.25,0,0" Name="popupBody" Text="TextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="480.5" Background="{x:Null}" FontSize="20" Foreground="White" BorderThickness="0" />
</Grid>

I set this PopupWindowContent to my popup using following code in my xaml file

        Popup popUnWin = new Popup();
        popUnWin.Child = new PopupWindowContent();
        popUnWin.IsOpen = true;

Problem is that when I execute this code, popup orientation is according to portrait but my app is landscape. So popup looks 90 degrees rotated. Can anyone please tell me how can i fix it?

Best Regards

Answer 1

Are you setting SupportedOrientation on every page of your app or just the first? I think there's a wierd thing that if you set it on your first page, some things will respect it, but others (like the popup) look at the supported orientations of the active page?
