How to open the list of apps from the same publish

问题:

Opening the url "http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/store/publishers?publisherId=" opens in the browser, doesn't go the built-in store app. Is there any custom url for this?

Using a MarketplaceSearchTask with my publisher name as the search term also doesn't work, other apps from other publishers also appear

I know this post is little old, but I'm facing this issue as many do.

Microsoft doesn't offer an option to open market place with only publisher apps.

Search is not bad idea but it will show your apps and possibly other apps.

maybe the best solution is to do the following

WebBrowserTask webBrowserTask = new WebBrowserTask();

webBrowserTask.Uri = new Uri("http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/store/publishers?publisherId=Phonemenon", UriKind.Absolute);

webBrowserTask.Show();

but again this way it will open the browser not the market place

Because the store doesn't have a specific way of just showing the apps by a specific publisher, the option available is to search. As you've discovered there's no way to hint to the search that the term provided is a publisher name it may pick up other things too. One hack I have seen used is to add custom keyword on all the apps by a publisher that is far more likely to be unique and searching for that. Something like "apps-by-code-beside". The search currently picks up keywords and a value like this is unlikely to show up other apps.

As an alternative, you may be able to provide a better experience by directing people to apps listed on your own website. This could contain appropriate links to the specific apps in the store. As a publisher has more and more apps it becomes less likely that all will be relevant to the person using one of them. It may be more appropriate to show only the relevant apps(relative to the obe being used) linked directly to the store. Yes, this can be more work but it provides you, the publisher, with greater control and, hopefully, the people using the apps with a better experience.

I think this code work

       var search = new MarketplaceSearchTask { SearchTerms = "your subscription name" };
       search.Show();

so you can find all the applications that match your name on the store.

You can use the MarketPlaceSearchTask to open the marketplace.

//Search for an application, which is the default content type.
MarketplaceSearchTask marketplaceSearchTask = new MarketplaceSearchTask();

marketplaceSearchTask.SearchTerms = "\"RT Apps\"";

marketplaceSearchTask.Show();

If you open up the market place on your phone and search for my publisher name with quotations around it, it shows just the apps I wrote. So, my hypothesis is that if you do something like "\"RT Apps\"" as your Search Term it will open the market with just my apps.

EDIT

Using your publisher name this is the results. You will note that only your content show up.
