How can I display documents (doc, docx, rtf) in an UWP app? The WebView isn't able to do this. Other options would be calling an external application with Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync (e.g. Word) or using a 3rd party library. The requirement is to have the data in the app, because you don't have control over it, if it's handled to another one. Another option would be to convert it to another format (e.g. PDF) which UWP can handle (not really). Any ideas? If you would like to display word or pdf files in the UWP app you can use WebView control with Google Docs Viewer - I was using it

I work on Universal App for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. Does anyone know how to check if Windows 10 is running on Tablet Mode? I found this question here but that is for Windows Forms: How can I detect when Window 10 enters tablet mode in a Windows Forms application? Thanks You query the UserInteractionMode - this is the sample code from that link switch(UIViewSettings.GetForCurrentView().UserInteractionMode) { case UserInteractionMode.Mouse: VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "MouseLayout", true); break; case UserInteractionMode.Touch: default: VisualStateManager.GoToState(this,

There is a Cached File Updater contract which allows apps like OneDrive or DropBox to keep files in sync with remote repository when users change them though file pickers. It works roughly like this: User gets a file using FileOpenPicker. User changes file. The source app gets notification that file is changed and uploads new file to backing storage. However, while in official DropBox app this scenario works perfectly, in OneDrive app it doesn't. I'm getting UnauthorizedAccessException when try to get stream for read from a file. I understand some people actually able to change a file, but it

I am developing an UWP application (Windows phone 10) and I have a SQLite database in a shared folder in a PC in my LAN. I would like to know if I can use this database in the windows phone app, like I do with my WPF application, that I can set the path of the database and I can use it from any computer in my lan. Thanks. Short answer : Yes you can however you will need to be careful about the journaling mode you choose for example WAL does not work over a network file system. Long answer : If you see yourself in a situation where many clients/programs need to access a common database over a

I'm trying to get the Accent Color of a user in a UWP-App for Windows 10. I know how to get it in C#, but I develop my apps in WinJS. So does anyone knows the WinJS equivalent for var color = (Color)Application.Current.Resources["SystemAccentColor"]; ? It would also be nice, if I could Access this Color with CSS. I found some hints, that color: Highlight; would be the solution, but this gives me only a blue and not the Accent Color. Thanks alot. you can use WinRT API to do that : Windows.UI.ViewManagement.UIColorType enumeration provides all accents colors. You can make something like : var

According to this article on Diagnosing memory issues with the new Memory Usage Tool in Visual Studio : 1. Memory caps on Phone devices : In particular for Phone, there are specific memory limits enforced on an application based on the size of the memory in the device. Allocating more than the specified limit will cause an OutOfMemoryException and will result in app termination. All well and good, and in Visual Studio you can use the Diagnostics tool to see memory usage during development. Is there any way a UWP app running on a (Windows 10) phone can get an approximate idea of how much memory
