How can a C# Universal Windows Application accept command-line arguments (args)

Question

In an application that is for Windows Desktops, there is a way to accept command-line arguments through Windows Explorer/File Explorer. (args)

In Windows Phone, there is a Files/File Explorer app as well. How can I accept command-line arguments from the Files/File Explorer app? Is it possible?

Note: I am programming for Universal Windows.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

you can use at least 2 ways to activate your Universal app :

• Uri activation. Your app will launch as soon as you launch an Uri with your registered protocol ( Press [Windows + R] type " bingmaps:?q=restaurant&where=Paris ")

• File association. Your app will be launched when an associated file is launched
