    app.onactivated = function (args) {
        if (args.detail.kind === activation.ActivationKind.launch) {
            if (args.detail.previousExecutionState !== activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated) {
            } else {
            }
            
            args.setPromise(WinJS.UI.processAll().done(function () {
                /*var button1 = document.getElementById("btnAdd");
                button1.addEventListener("click", WhenButtonClicked, false);
                */
                $('#btnAdd').click(function () {
                    var data = $("#txtData").val(); //To Read the value
                    $('#txtData').val("KKKDD");
                });
            }));
        }
    };
    function WhenButtonClicked() {
        var data = $("#txtData").val();
    }
    //var bttn = $('#add').click(function () {
    //    //alert('button clicked');
    //    $('#txtData').val = "Some text";
    //});
    app.oncheckpoint = function (args) {
