We have now fully implemented restoring application state, but we still need to test and verify that the application is acting as we expect it to.
The new lifecycle in Windows 8 introduces a problem in that we need to be able to see what the application does when transitioning to different states, standard debugging will only allow us to test full termination of the application, and not just a suspend action.
In this video, I will show you how to simulate a suspend operation within the Visual Studio debugger.
