I want to do a very basic repackage of a website as a WP8 app, similar to how Microsoft has done it here.

What kind of project do I create in Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone? And what is the general strategy for developing this kind of app?

Answer 1

You should select "Windows Phone HTML5 App" template. It basically uses WebBrowser control to open the website. Template also has application bar with back, forward & refresh button.

When you create the app, go to MainPage.xaml.cs and change MainUri string to website's name and use UriKind as UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute in Browser_Loaded event.
