Shows how to customize the size of your app's view.
Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.
The sample shows the following techniques:
- Resizing the view.
- Setting a minimum size for the view.
- Launching at a specific size.
Note Although the sample will compile and run, the level of functionality will depend on which build of Windows you are running and what device you are running it on. In particular, the view resizing feature is not enabled on phones or on PCs in Tablet mode because those systems do not permit free resizing.
Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2017 to build and Windows 10 to execute.
To obtain information about Windows 10 development, go to the Windows Dev Center

Client: Windows 10
Server: Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview
Phone: Windows 10 (but non-functional; see discussion above)
- If you download the samples ZIP, be sure to unzip the entire archive, not just the folder with the sample you want to build.
- Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and select File > Open > Project/Solution.
- Starting in the folder where you unzipped the samples, go to the Samples subfolder, then the subfolder for this specific sample, then the subfolder for your preferred language (C++, C#, or JavaScript). Double-click the Visual Studio Solution (.sln) file.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.
The next steps depend on whether you just want to deploy the sample or you want to both deploy and run it.
- Select Build > Deploy Solution.
- To debug the sample and then run it, press F5 or select Debug > Start Debugging. To run the sample without debugging, press Ctrl+F5 or select Debug > Start Without Debugging.
