title: Can I prevent screen timeout on Windows Phone 7?
body: <p>In the CE based Windows Mobile you could prevent the screen back-light from timing out using the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms920689.aspx" rel="nofollow">SetPowerRequirement</a> and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms919803.aspx" rel="nofollow">ReleasePowerRequirement</a> API's like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>IntPtr handle = SetPowerRequirement("BKL1:", PowerState.FULL, 1, IntPtr.Zero, 0);
  // screen won't timeout while you do stuff in here
  ReleasePowerREquirement(handle);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is a similar thing possible on WP7?</p>
