## About The Sample
If you would like to get started immediately, skip this section and jump to *How To Run The Sample*.

This sample solution is a "Directory Searcher" that contains five projects, each of which is a different type of application: iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Store 8.1, and WPF. The solution is built using the [Xamarin Platform](http://xamarin.com/platform), which allows all five applications to be written in C# and ported to the corresponding platform. Each application contains two major portions: a platform specific project that is used mainly for UI, and a shared portable class library (PCL) that contains the application logic. In addition, the Windows Phone and Windows Store applications are written as a Universal App, so even UI code sharing is used in these two projects.

Each application contains two major portions: a platform specific project that is used primarily for UI, and a shared portable class library (PCL) that contains the application logic. In addition, the Windows Phone and Windows Store applications are written as a Universal App, so even UI code is shared across these two projects.

In this application, the platform specific projects are effectively only responsible from presenting the UI. Each application receives an input search term from the user, and calls a method `SearchByAlias` in the application's `DirectorySearcherLib` PCL. `SearchByAlias` returns a `User` object, which is used to present information about the search results such as the user's name, user principal name, and phone number.
