How can I open the savefile-dialog out of webview in an UWP

I've taken over an UWP project and have to fix an issue with a download button. On a website, there is a link to a software-package. The EXE can be downloaded using a browser.
In my webview, as far as I understood, I won't be able to download directly to disk, but it should be possible to open the standard-browser to take over that part. I managed to open PDFs in the standard-browser from my webview. That already was tricky for me and my noob skills, but it's working now. I tried the same with EXE-files, but that doesn't seem to work. Here is what I did so far:
private async void WebView1_NewWindowRequested(WebView sender, WebViewNewWindowRequestedEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Uri != null && args.Uri.OriginalString.ToLower().Contains(".pdf"))
{
return;
}
else
{ webView1.Navigate(args.Uri); }
args.Handled = true;
}
So this works for PDF, but when I do the same with EXE, it doesn't do anything (visible).
Any ideas on that?

How can I open the savefile-dialog out of webview in an UWP
You could listen NavigationStarting event handler, if the uri contains .exe you could create BackgroundDownloader to download exe file specific folder.
private async void TestWebView_NavigationStarting(WebView sender, WebViewNavigationStartingEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Uri != null && args.Uri.OriginalString.ToLower().Contains(".exe"))
{
try
{
StorageFile destinationFile = await KnownFolders.PicturesLibrary.CreateFileAsync(
"test.exe", CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
BackgroundDownloader downloader = new BackgroundDownloader();
DownloadOperation download = downloader.CreateDownload(args.Uri, destinationFile);
await download.StartAsync();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
}
Mahobo solution
string Link = args.Uri.Segments.Last();
try
{
var messagedialog = new MessageDialog("Saving File " + Link + " to your Download folder.");
await messagedialog.ShowAsync();
StorageFile destinationFile = await DownloadsFolder.CreateFileAsync(Link, CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
BackgroundDownloader downloader = new BackgroundDownloader();
DownloadOperation download = downloader.CreateDownload(args.Uri, destinationFile);
await download.StartAsync();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}

How to Change the LockScreen back ground (find windows.system.UserProfile.dll)?

I started a windows form application which imports images from files and store them and specify a radio button to each one.
it have a button with the name 'Lock'
so if user select one radio button and then press the button the app should change the lock screen image and then Lock the screen.
But I don't know how to set the image and lock the screen.
I googled later and the answer about the LockScreen.blabla didn't work for me because I can't do using windows.system.userprofile;
If some one get me the assembly i will do the thing.
there is the events:
private void rB_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyRadioButton radioButton = sender as MyRadioButton;
pictureBox1.Image = radioButton.Image;
}
private void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(openFileDialog1.FileName);
foreach (Control control in FindForm().Controls)
{
if (control.GetType() == typeof(MyRadioButton))
{
MyRadioButton mrb = control as MyRadioButton;
if (mrb.Checked == true)
{
mrb.Image = pictureBox1.Image;
}
}
}
}
}
private void btnLock_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//should set the lock screen background
LockScreen.LockScreen.SetImageFileAsync(imagefile);//shows error 'the name lock screen does not exist
}

I have made a UWP application to use the LockScreen class provided by windows.userProfile.dll And the event's changed to:
private Dictionary<string, string> Images = new Dictionary<string, string>();
private async void btnLock_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
string path;
if (Images.TryGetValue(selectedRadioButton.Name, out path))
{
StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
await LockScreen.SetImageFileAsync(file);
try
{
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
Uri uri = new Uri("http://localhost:8080/lock/");
HttpStringContent content = new HttpStringContent(
"{ \"pass\": \"theMorteza#1378App\" }",
UnicodeEncoding.Utf8,
"application/json");
HttpResponseMessage httpResponseMessage = await httpClient.PostAsync(
uri,
content);
httpResponseMessage.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
var httpResponseBody = await httpResponseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
}
private async void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var picker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker();
picker.ViewMode = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerViewMode.Thumbnail;
picker.SuggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.Desktop;
picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpg");
picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpeg");
picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".png");
StorageFile file = await picker.PickSingleFileAsync();
if (file != null)
{
using (var imageStream = await file.OpenReadAsync())
{
var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
await bitmapImage.SetSourceAsync(imageStream);
image.Source = bitmapImage;
}
StorageFolder storageFolder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
await file.CopyAsync(storageFolder, selectedRadioButton.Name+file.FileType,NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
addOrUpdate(selectedRadioButton.Name, Path.Combine(storageFolder.Path, selectedRadioButton.Name + file.FileType));
save();
}
}
private async void rb_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
RadioButton rb = sender as RadioButton;
selectedRadioButton = rb;
btnBrowse.IsEnabled = true;
string path;
if (Images.TryGetValue(rb.Name, out path))
{
StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
using (var imageStream = await file.OpenReadAsync())
{
var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
await bitmapImage.SetSourceAsync(imageStream);
image.Source = bitmapImage;
}
}
}
private void addOrUpdate(string key, string image)
{
if (Images.Keys.Contains(key))
{
Images.Remove(key);
Images.Add(key, image);
}
else
{
Images.Add(key, image);
}
}
private async void save()
{
StorageFolder storageFolder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile file = await storageFolder.CreateFileAsync("sample.txt", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
await FileIO.WriteTextAsync(file, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Images));
}
private async void load()
{
StorageFolder storageFolder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile sampleFile = await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("sample.txt");
string fileText = await FileIO.ReadTextAsync(sampleFile);
try
{
Images = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(fileText);
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
and you can see in the lock button click event there is a request to a web server cause you cannot directly lock the screen in a UWP app and you can follow the rest of your question in my next answer to the question "why I can't directly lock screen in UWP app?and how to do so?".

Wp 8.1 app crashing when its not connected to debugger

Application works when its connected to PC and run with debugger. The problem starts when I disconnect phone from PC, run app from phone and try to open gallery and set image to image control. I tried to write error in a file on try/catch but catch is never called, like there is no error on app executing.
This is code where i select img:
private async void galleryBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
FileOpenPicker filePicker = new FileOpenPicker();
filePicker.SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.PicturesLibrary;
filePicker.ViewMode = PickerViewMode.Thumbnail;
// Filter to include a sample subset of file types
filePicker.FileTypeFilter.Clear();
filePicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".bmp");
filePicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".png");
filePicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpeg");
filePicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpg");
filePicker.PickSingleFileAndContinue();
view.Activated += viewActivated;
}
catch (Exception err)
{
string error = err.StackTrace.ToString();
await saveStringToLocalFile("test11", error);
}
}
And than it goes to :
private async void viewActivated(CoreApplicationView sender, IActivatedEventArgs args1)
{
try
{
FileOpenPickerContinuationEventArgs args = args1 as FileOpenPickerContinuationEventArgs;
if (args != null)
{
if (args.Files.Count == 0) return;
view.Activated -= viewActivated;
StorageFile storageFile = args.Files[0];
var stream = await storageFile.OpenAsync(Windows.Storage.FileAccessMode.Read);
var bitmapImage = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage();
await bitmapImage.SetSourceAsync(stream);
var decoder = await Windows.Graphics.Imaging.BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(stream);
var obj = App.Current as App;
obj.ImageToEdit = bitmapImage;
obj.fileTransfer = storageFile;
checkTorch = -1;
await newCapture.StopPreviewAsync();
Frame.Navigate(typeof(EditImage));
}
}
catch (Exception err) {
string error = err.StackTrace.ToString();
await saveStringToLocalFile("test11", error);
}
}
When img is selected i open screen for image editing and run this
protected override async void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
try
{
var obj = App.Current as App;
slika = obj.ImageToEdit;
original = obj.ImageToEdit;
ImagePreview.Source = slika;
RotateTransform myRotateTransform = new RotateTransform();
myRotateTransform.Angle = 0;
ImagePreview.RenderTransform = myRotateTransform;
var localSettings = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
}
catch (Exception err)
{
string error = err.StackTrace.ToString();
await saveStringToLocalFile("test11", error);
}
}
That is all, any advice is appreciated;

Problem was with my MediaCapture. First use mediaCapture.stopPreviewAsync(); to stop preview and than you must release the mediaCapture.
Before you call fileOpener use this code:
newCapture.Dispose();

In order to catch unhandled exceptions you can use a global exception catcher,
in App.xaml.cs file define:
public App()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
this.Suspending += this.OnSuspending;
this.UnhandledException += UnhandledExceptionHandler;
}
private void UnhandledExceptionHandler(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
log.Critical(e.Exception);
}
It's important to understand that not all exceptions can be caught using try\catch such as Corrupt State Exceptions:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd419661.aspx#id0070035
In this case you can debug the issue by viewing the .dmp file generated by your application found in: {Phone}\Documents\Debug

uploadfile windows form C# web service

i'm new here,
help me out here please,
i am working with web service and doing upload file.
here's my code for uploading file
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
testServiceClient = new TestServiceClient();
var uploadFile = "C:\\Computer1\\Sample.csv";
try
{
var dir = #"\\Computer2\UploadedFile\";
string myUploadPath = dir;
var myFileName = Path.GetFileName(uploadFile);
var client = new WebClient { Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials };
client.UploadFile(myUploadPath + myFileName, "PUT", uploadFile);
client.Dispose();
MessageBox.Show("ok");
testServiceClient.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ex.ToString();
}
}
i can upload file in the same network, but my question is this,
how can i upload file when the two computer is not in the same network?
i've tried changing the
var dir = #"\\Computer2\UploadedFile\";
to
var dir = #"https://Computer2/UploadedFile/";
but i'm getting an error 'unable to connect to remote server'
help me out here pls.

In windows:
private void uploadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
var dialogResult = openFileDialog.ShowDialog();
if (dialogResult != DialogResult.OK) return;
Upload(openFileDialog.FileName);
}
private void Upload(string fileName)
{
var client = new WebClient();
var uri = new Uri("https://Computer2/UploadedFile/");
try
{
client.Headers.Add("fileName", System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileName));
var data = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(fileName);
client.UploadDataAsync(uri, data);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
In server:
[HttpPost]
public async Task<object> UploadedFile()
{
var file = await Request.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
var fileName = Request.Headers.GetValues("fileName").FirstOrDefault();
var filePath = "/upload/files/";
try
{
File.WriteAllBytes(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(filePath) + fileName, file);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// ignored
}
return null;
}

I think the problem is that you are not actually sending the file with your UploadFile() method, you are just sending the file path. you should be sending the file bytes.

Download and launch default app in windows phone 8 in C#

I am using Live api to download SkyDrive files.
My code has a download click event which triggers the OnDownloadedCompleted function.
OnDownloadedCompleted function copies the file to "filename".
and calls the DefaultLaunch(), which takes in the "filename" and tries to launch it by the default program in windows phone 8.
When i execute this code (The file downloaded is a OneNote file) OneNote opens and says that the file can't be open.
Can anyone please help me validate this code?
Thanks a lot!
private void btnDownload_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (App.Current.LiveSession == null)
{
infoTextBlock.Text = "You must sign in first.";
}
else
{
LiveConnectClient client = new LiveConnectClient(App.Current.LiveSession);
client.DownloadCompleted += new EventHandler<LiveDownloadCompletedEventArgs>(OnDownloadCompleted);
client.DownloadAsync("file_id");
}
}
The code for OnDownloadCompleted is
void OnDownloadCompleted(object sender, LiveDownloadCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Result != null)
{
var filestream = File.Create(#"filename");
e.Result.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
e.Result.CopyTo(filestream);
filestream.Close();
DefaultLaunch();
e.Result.Close();
}
else
{
infoTextBlock.Text = "Error downloading image: " + e.Error.ToString();
}
}
The code for Default launch function is
async void DefaultLaunch()
{
try
{
string imageFile = #"File.one";
var file = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync(imageFile);
var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file);
if (success)
{}
else
{}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
}
