Hi Binu,

Thank you for your question.

You can use the information from the ApplicationUsageHelper in order to determine the time the app is used and cancel the reminder's display in case the app is used less than 6 times. You can do this in a handler for RadRateApplicationReminder's Showing event similar to this:

private void OnRateApplicationReminder_Showing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (ApplicationUsageHelper.ApplicationRunsCountTotal < 6)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

This way the reminder will not be displayed during the first 5 usages and then it will start showing depending on RecurrencePerUsageCount's value.

I hope this information helps. If you need further assistance, you can write back anytime.

Hi
Thanks for your reply, i tried it on my project but the event is not fired.

Private Sub OnRateApplicationReminder_Showing(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
        If ApplicationUsageHelper.ApplicationRunsCountTotal < 6 Then
            e.Cancel = True
        End If
    End Sub

i used the above code on mainpage and even tried at app.xaml.vb

This is the code i am using on app.xaml.vb for RadRateApplicationReminder

Public rateReminder As RadRateApplicationReminder

'Creates a new instance of the RadRateApplicationReminder component.

        rateReminder = New RadRateApplicationReminder()

 

        'Sets how often the rate reminder is displayed.

        rateReminder.RecurrencePerUsageCount = 1

        rateReminder.SkipFurtherRemindersOnYesPressed = True

Hi,

You also need to accosiate the event handler with the event:

AddHandler rateReminder.Showing, AddressOf OnRateApplicationReminder_Showing

I hope this information helps.

Hi

The above solution worked for newly installed app. But once the app gets a update then the rate remainder starts showing from the first time.

I want to show the remainder after 5th time for new installation and after update.

It is possible.

thanks

Hi Binu,

Thanks for getting back.

If you want to display the reminder after the 5th usage of the current version of the application, then you need to use ApplicationRunsCountForCurrentVersion instead of ApplicationRunsCountTotal.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
