In this blog post , I will be sharing information on how one can retrieve the Scaled Resolution of Windows Phone 8 using C# .

The Windows Phone 8 supports 3 different resolutions

• 480 X 800 with aspect ratio of 15:9 and scaled resolution of 480 X 800
• 768 X 1280 with aspect ratio of 15:9 and scaled resolution of 480 X 800

How to get the Scaled Resolution of Windows Phone 8 using C# ?

The Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth and Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight property can be used to retreive the necessary information w.r.t the height and width of the screen.

Below is a sample sourecode that demonstrates how to retrieve the Scaled Resolution of Windows Phone 8 using C# .

string WindowsPhoneScreenResolution = Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth.ToString() + " X " + Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight.ToString();

txtScreenResolution.Text = WindowsPhoneScreenResolution;

When the Windows Phone 8 project is executed , you will see the data 480 X 800 and 480 X 853 depending on the screen resolution of the device.
