How can i set settings propperties in charms bar in XAML, Windows 8?

Question

I'm trying to get the charms bar working in windows 8, but i can't find any thing using google.

What i want is to let users acces settings and privacy policy throuw charms bar.

I all ready have this:

    public MainPage()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();
        SettingsPane.GetForCurrentView().CommandsRequested += MainPage_CommandsRequested;
    }

    void MainPage_CommandsRequested(SettingsPane sender, SettingsPaneCommandsRequestedEventArgs args)
    {
        args.Request.ApplicationCommands.Add(new SettingsCommand("commandid", "Settings", DoOperation));
    }

    private async void DoOperation(IUICommand command)
    {
        //Show the Settings or Privacy Policy HERE!
    }

I don't know how i can get my settings in place of: //Show the Settings or Privacy Policy HERE!

Any help or rather code samples would be greate.

It's better if you put the code in App.xaml.cs, here's a working example:

protected async override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs args)
{ /....
   SettingsPane.GetForCurrentView().CommandsRequested += OnCommandsRequested;
   //before if (!rootFrame.Navigate(typeof...
}
void OnCommandsRequested(SettingsPane sender, SettingsPaneCommandsRequestedEventArgs args)
    {
          var privacy =  new SettingsCommand("privacyPref", "Privacy Plicy",
            (uiCommand) => { Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("http://YOURURL.COM")); });
        args.Request.ApplicationCommands.Add(privacy);
        var preferences = new SettingsCommand("preferences", "Preferences", (handler) =>
        {
            var settings = new SettingsFlyout(); //Callisto extension
            settings.Content = new PreferencesUserControl(); //Add New Element->User Control
            settings.HeaderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(_background);
            settings.Background = new SolidColorBrush(_background);
            settings.HeaderText = "Preferences";
            settings.IsOpen = true;
        });
    }
