Sharing StorageItems with SetDataProvider() method

Question

Hi all

i am working on sharing source app and target app;

In source app , i coded like this:

data.SetDataProvider(StandardDataFormats.StorageItems, DataProvider);

types.Add("*.jpg");
types.Add("*.png");

What confused me is it does not work without select 'Supports any file types' in manifest of Target app

the target app has not been displayed on sharing source app's share charm

Is there anyone know about this? Appreciate for it

Answer 1

i downloaded the Sharing Source en Sharing Target app from msdn.

Changed it so it would use SetDataProvider and turned the 'Supports any file types' off but cant reproduce it. The share target app will still be visible.

hi Dave

Unfortunately,  after i changed  "*.jpg" to ".jpg",  my app works too.

that's too bad that no document have mentioned this difference but the sample.

Thanks for your reply.
