Disabling the screenshot facility in Windows Phone app

I'm working on an enterprise Windows Phone application for a client, the issue at hand is customer information will show up on the phone. My client is worried that the information could be caught using the Windows Phone screen capture feature (Power + Volume Up button), then emailed or synced from the phone memory. Is there any way to disable the screen capture feature in Windows phone? Can this be done programmatically in C# language or is is possible through a configuration profile?

If we can disable the screenshot feature from Windows Phone, the app security will increase more, and one cannot share the data which shown on screen by taking screenshot and share it as image of screenshot via mail or any other channel.

You can set SetScreenCaptureEnabled as false to achieve this

public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();

if (this.CanSetScreenCaptureEnabled())
{
this.SetScreenCaptureEnabled(false);
}
}
}
