Universal Windows® Apps with XAML and C# Unleashed

Share

The Share command is a richer version of the Windows clipboard, enabling one app to send another anything that they both claim to support: plain text, rich text, images, specific document types, or completely custom binary data. It also enables an app to automatically decide what information is currently worth sharing, unlike the explicit selection and copying done with clipboard operations. With this sharing scheme, an app can play the part of the sender (source), receiver (target), or both, for any number of formats. And this works on both PCs and phones.
