Using the documents library in WP 8.1 Silverlight app

Question

Hi,

I'm havin a Silverlight App that I ported to 8.1 and try to add a new backup Feature.

I read about the KnowFolders DocumentsLibrary and the corresponding capability. My questions are:

* is the use of this capability restricted as it is in Win8.1, too?

* If not, how do I specify it? Entering it into the WMAppManifest manually did not work for me.

Cheers,

Thomas

Answer 1

I guess if it is restricted in Windows 8.1 then it should be same for Windows Phone 8.1 too.

OK,

so I switched over to the Folder Picker.

But here I am running against a wall, too.

I'm opening a new thread concerning these problems...
