Add AdDuplex to the application


In the Visual Studio Extensions Gallery, we’ll find and download the AdDuplex Universal SDK for Universal Applications (Windows 8.1 / Windows Phone 8.1) on XAML (C # / VB.NET and C ++).

Install this SDK, and in the Solution Explorer window, add a link to the project
“References ...” -> “Add New Reference ...”

In the next window “Windows 8.1” / “Windows Phone 8.1” -> “Extensions” we select “AdDuplex SDK for Windows 8.1 (XAML edition)”, and in the application for Windows Phone 8.1 “AdDuplex SDK for Windows Phone 8.1 (XAML edition)” respectively.

After connecting all the necessary components, go to work with the application.

Open the MainPage.xaml file in the project and connect AdDuplex.Controls:

Windows 8.1
xmlns:ad="using:AdDuplex.Universal.Controls.Win.XAML"

Windows Phone 8.1
 xmlns:ad="using:AdDuplex.Universal.Controls.WinPhone.XAML"

Add an AdControl element to the page:

Windows 8.1
 <ad:AdControl x:Name="adDuplexAd" AppId="YOUR_AppId_HERE" Size="500x130" />

The sizes of banners in Windows 8.1 applications: 160x600, 250x125, 250x250, 292x60, 300x250, 500x130 and 728x90.

Windows Phone 8.1
 <ad:AdControl x:Name="adDuplexAd" AppId="YOUR_AppId_HERE" />



This SDK can also be used in standalone Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 (XAML) applications.
