Q:

Enable orientation in Windows Phone 8.0 application

I am new to windows phone application development. I am developing application for windows 8.0.  I cannot find file [Package.appxmanifest] in the project.
Is there a setting in application that turns on orientation? Because when I rotate my phone my controls stay same in potrait mode.
Can any one guide me please?

A:

Package.appxmanifest is a WP8.1 runtime thing.  For WP 8.0, it's AppManifest and WMAppManifest.  You can find it under Properties under the project Solution.

As for orientation, click your MainPage.xaml and select your <phone:PhoneApplicationPage> tag.  Under Common, you can change your Orientations.

And here's a Quick Start Guide in handling Orientation Changes: Quickstart: Screen orientation for Windows Phone 8
