Your Last About dialog Description

Are you tired of recreating the same about dialog logic and content for each Windows Phone app every time? Your Last About Dialog is able to pull most data from your application automatically, supports fetching both text and Xaml content from remote sources (with fallback local content), and allows easy localization of the complete dialog content to all of the languages supported by your app. Creating an about dialog, or something comparable, is mandatory for a Windows Phone app. You are required to include "easily discoverable" information about the application name, version and technical support contact options by the technical certification requirements. On the other hand, statistics show that the about or help screen of an application is one of the least used features of apps (some claim something as low as only 3% of the users are accessing it). This results in the need for something that: · Is only loaded when the user actually requests it, to avoid unnecessary bloating of the apps memory footprint and wasting performance · Updates the information e.g. about the app version dynamically to minimize your efforts and to eliminate the risk of forgetting to do that manually · Looks good but doesn't require too much time to implement, and can be reused easily for future projects. · Allows you to easily extend the content with additional information or data you want to present for a particular app only. Your Last About Dialog is exactly that. It's easy to integrate into your own app, it pulls the required data from your application dynamically so you'll never forget to manually update it, it's loaded dynamically when the user requests it and still optimized to show first content as quickly as possible, and you can extend it easily with both local, static content as well as content that is fetched from a remote source and can be switched and changed dynamically even after publishing your app. In addition, the dialog supports localization. All this is achieved through configuration and doesn't require to write additional code.
