It’s not difficult to make a full screen application. But the sample below can save you a lot of time to look around a reference from the Internet.

Full Screen: stage.displayState[AS3] vs Application.Current.Host.Content.IsFullScreen [C#]

Switching to Full Screen Mode is very easy. Here is a simple demonstration.

// AS3
stage.displayState = ( stage.displayState  == StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN)
	? StageDisplayState.NORMAL : StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, on_full_screen);

private function on_full_screen(e : FullScreenEvent):void{
	// get the full screen dimension
	var screenWidth:Number = stage.stageWidth;
	var screenHeight:Number = stage.stageHeight;
}

Code in C# is similar to than in AS3. It’s pretty straight forward. I don’t describe too much this time.

// C#
Application.Current.Host.Content.IsFullScreen = !Application.Current.Host.Content.IsFullScreen;
Application.Current.Host.Content.FullScreenChanged += new EventHandler(Content_FullScreenChanged);

void Content_FullScreenChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	// get the full screen dimension
	double screenWidth = Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth;
	double screenHeight= Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight;
}
