Library management sample

Demonstrates how to get a list of the folders in a user's library and how to let users add and remove folders from that list. This samples uses Windows.Storage.StorageLibrary.

The sample demonstrates these tasks:

  1. Add a folder to a library

    Uses StorageLibrary.GetLibraryAsync to get a specific library and StorageLibrary.RequestAddFolderAsync to display a file picker that the user can use to select a folder to add to the library.

  2. List the folders in a library

    Uses StorageLibrary.GetLibraryAsync to get a specific library and StorageLibrary.Folders to get a list of folders in the library.

  3. Remove a folder from a library

    Uses StorageLibrary.GetLibraryAsync to get a specific library and StorageLibrary.Folders to display a list of folders in the library so the user can select one to remove. Then uses StorageLibrary.RequestRemoveFolderAsync to remove the folder if the user approves.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2015 to build and Windows 10 to execute.
