How to display images present inside a Folder in Windows 8 Store Apps

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a windows 8 Store App page(say PhotoPage.xaml).
In my app I have an embedded Image resource folder in "Assets\\Images" in which I have many images present.

Now I want to display all the images present inside the Images folder in the PhotoPage.xaml page when it gets loaded (or on any event).

I tried the FileOpenPicker but was unable to load all the images in the Images folder by default for first.(i dont want to browse for the folder....by default it should display the images present inside the Image folder only).

Also I dont have to browse to other folders.(I just need the Images folder alone.)

Can anyone point me a direction to the solution of this problem.Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

To get any file from installed location of app in winRT you can use

C#

var folder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
var File = await folder.GetFileAsync("img.jpg");

You can run a loop to get all the files from a specific location and display it.
