Silverlight Toolkit Gestures

Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit, introduced in Chapter 9, “Silverlight Toolkit Controls,” abstracts low-level touch events and further consolidates touch event data into a set of events representing the various single and multitouch gesture types.

Toolkit gestures harness the Touch.FrameReported event (described in the previous section “Touch and TouchPoint Classes”) to provide high-level gesture information.

Unless you require low-level touch point data, UIElement and Toolkit gestures are the recommended way to add single and multitouch capabilities to your apps.
