Is it possible to share a storageItem and a Uri link simultaneously using share source contract in windows 8?

Question

Is it possible to share a storageItem and a Uri link simultaneously using share source contract in windows 8?

As I have a requirement where in I need to share a link along with the file (storage item) simultaneously in the share

source contract. If it is possible please provide me a sample.

Answer 1

The MSDN documentations says that the DataPackage class has both SetUri and SetStorageItems member functions:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.datatransfer.datapackage.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=cpp#code-snippet-1

Maybe you can try both and see if you get any error after calling the second function?

Answer 2

I have tried it with DataPackage class. But on using SetUri and SetStorageItem member functions I am able to see either the uri that has to be shared or

the storageItem that has to be shared (as attachment) depending on the target application selected. When I select the mail app then only link is available

but when I select the skydrive application the storageItem is available. But this is not the requirement I need both the storageItem and the uri to be available

in the mail application (atleast in the mail application) . Is this possible to accomplish? If yes please provide a sample ....

no its not possible.. how the data is handled depends on the share target and you cant change that behavior
