Windows 8 C# Store app - Link to store and reviews

We are about to submit a game for Windows 8 with two versions:

So on the ad-supported version, we need a button to link to the store for the full version.

In both versions, we also would like to place a button to link to the store to review each app.

How are these two scenarios handled in Windows 8?

You can directly use below code in click event:

MarketplaceReviewTask marketplaceReviewTask = new MarketplaceReviewTask();

marketplaceReviewTask.Show();

You will need to add 

using Microsoft.Phone.Tasks;

also.

Use this:-

private async void Rate_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        String pfn = Package.Current.Id.FamilyName;
        await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("ms-windows-store:REVIEW?PFN=" + pfn + ""));
    }

You can find detailed solution here.

Thanks to the lovely folks who created Physamajig not only working this out, but also sharing the information on their blog! Here's how you can link directly to your Review page:

Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("ms-windows-store:REVIEW?PFN=MY_PACKAGE_FAMILY_NAME"));

Replacing MY_PACKAGE_FAMILY_NAME with the one from your package manifest.

We asked about linking directly to the review page at an AEL today. The link to Rate and Review in the settings charm is added automatically once your app is in the store. No coding required.

var storeURI = new Uri("ms-windows-store:PDP?PFN=<Your package family name from the manifest>");
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(storeURI);

should do the trick.
