This sample demonstrates how to use the ApplicationSettings API and settings flyouts to integrate an app's settings UI with the Settings charm.

The sample uses the Windows.UI.ApplicationSettings namespace and WinJS.UI.SettingsFlyout .

The Settings charm provides users with a consolidated place for fast, in-context access to settings that affect the current Windows Store app experience. By participating in the Settings contract, an app can include app-specified settings commands in the Settings charm and launch the corresponding settings UI from that standard entry point.
