What is the right way to get Unique Identifier of

Question

Currently i am using the following methods. I am not sure if this is the correct way to identify each unique phone (doesn't need to have same sim card). For android there is a imei phone

  public static String GetDeviceUniqueID()
    {
        object DeviceUniqueID;

        byte[] DeviceIDbyte = null;

        if (DeviceExtendedProperties.TryGetValue("DeviceUniqueId", out DeviceUniqueID))

            DeviceIDbyte = (byte[])DeviceUniqueID;

        string DeviceID = Convert.ToBase64String(DeviceIDbyte);

        return DeviceID;
    }  

Answer 1

That seems to be the suggested way from the stuff that I have read to date.

Downt forget to include the necessary value in WMAppManifest.xml . If it is not found , there will be an exception as described in the below URL...
