I\'m trying to launch pdf reader with the code below but it does not work. Can somebody help me?

    private async Task WriteData(string fileN         


        

Answer 1

just put the anyFile.pdf in Assets folder, and make its build action to Content, and then Just make the function Async ... and then Put "await" before Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(pdf); it worked fine for me. Nice. See this.

     private async void privacyPolicy_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
        var installedLocation = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
        var assets = await installedLocation.GetFolderAsync("Assets");
        var pdf = await assets.GetFileAsync("PrivacyPolicy.pdf");
        await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(pdf);
    }
