MouseMove event alternative in Windows Phone 7 or Windows Phone 8?

Question

I need a requirement to move my rectangle around the Grid. In WPF or Silverlight , we can use MouseMove event to capture the points to get my rectangle to be moved. But in Windows Phone 7 which event will be highly suitable to do these kind of scenario. Any one can you please help me on this ?

Answer 1

In Windows Phone 7 you can handle manipulation events as described in How to: Handle Manipulation Events.

In Windows 8 (but not in Windows Phone 8) you could perhaps use the GestureRecognizer, as described in this question: Detect Simple Touch Gestures.
