Contracts :
A contract is like an agreement between one or more apps. Contracts define the requirements that apps must meet to participate in these unique Windows interactions.

There are 5 contracts available to our applications:

• File Picker
• Play To
• Search
• Settings
• Share

The Settings charm provides a single access point to all settings that are relevant in the user's current context.

Implement the Settings contract to:

Provide users with a consolidated place for fast, in-context access to settings that affect their current Windows Store app.

Adding app settings using Windows Runtime

Specify the commands to be exposed in Settings

Listen for the settings pane's CommandsRequested event.

Specify the commands in the associated callback. For each command:

Provide a SettingsCommand.Id and a localized SettingsCommand.Label.

Set the handler (SettingsCommand.Invoked) for the event that will be fired when the user selects the command.

Append the SettingsCommand object to the ApplicationCommands vector to make it available to the SettingsPane.

The Settings charm provides users with a consolidated place for fast, in-context access to settings that affect the current .
