How can I hyperlink a webpage and an email mailto link in a standard Windows Phone page?

Question

So I want to add a web hyperlink in an WP page and also an email option.

so when the user interacts/ presses the link it navigates in a separate window using bing web browser/ default

and with an email link, it opens up the default e-mail setup installed on the device?

is it possible?

Answer 1

I know the mailto functionality is possible - the way I did it was to handle the mouse event and use the Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.EmailComposeTask to create the email and open the mail client). See How to: Use the Email Compose Task for Windows Phone

I haven't tried it, but you should be able to do the same thing with the WebBrowserTask: How to: Use the Web Browser Task for Windows Phone

Then after you have the codebehind or viewmodel stuff working, you'll just need to style your text to look like a link.
