Launching other applications in Windows phone 7 Programatically
I have created an application in which I download Images/Files and other docs from web for my application but I need them to open using their default file launchers like pdf should be opened via adobe pdf viewer.
Currently I have acheived this using external web browser using webbrowsertask. I want it to happen within the app using webclient or webbrowser control. I tried these two methods, they worked correctly for images and text files but failed for pdf. Is there any other method?
Windows 8 has a native function which launches the default file handler. Is there something similar in WP7?
The link provided by Patrick say everything. You can’t download and open files other than images and music files. Files like PDF/DOC need to be opened via webbrowsertask, so the file will fall into correct application’s IsolatedStorage (for PDFs – Acrobat Reader). If you download the file, it will fall under your app’s IsolatedStorage and Acrobat will not have access to that file.
