Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer Namespace

Contains classes that are used to exchange data between a source app and a target app. These classes are used in share and clipboard operations.

Classes

Clipboard	Gets and sets information from the clipboard object.
ClipboardContentOptions	Specifies options for using the SetContentWithOptions method to set content in the clipboard.
ClipboardHistoryChangedEventArgs	Provides data for the HistoryEnabledChanged event.
ClipboardHistoryItem	Represents an item in the clipboard history.

DataPackage	Contains the data that a user wants to exchange with another app.
DataPackagePropertySet	Defines a set of properties to use with a DataPackage object.
DataPackagePropertySetView	Gets the set of properties of a DataPackageView object.
DataPackageView	A read-only version of a DataPackage. Apps that receive shared content get this object when acquiring content.
DataProviderDeferral	Used by a source app's deferral delegate to notify a DataPackage object that the source app will produce data from another asynchronous function.
DataProviderRequest	An object of this type is passed to the DataProviderHandler delegate.
DataRequest	Lets your app supply the content the user wants to share or specify a message, if an error occurs.
DataRequestDeferral	Enables you to exchange content with a target app asynchronously.
DataRequestedEventArgs	Contains information about the DataRequested event. The system fires this event when the user invokes the Share UI.
DataTransferManager	Programmatically initiates an exchange of content with other apps.
HtmlFormatHelper	Responsible for formatting HTML content that you want to share or add to the Clipboard. Also allows you to get HTML fragments from the content.
OperationCompletedEventArgs	Contains info about the action that a target app completed during a paste operation.
ShareCompletedEventArgs	This class contains the event args for ShareCompleted.
SharedStorageAccessManager	Enables an app to share a file with another app by passing a token via Uri activation, app service, REST API, etc. The target app redeems the token to get the file shared by the source app.
ShareProvider	This class represents a custom provider which can be shared.
ShareProviderOperation	This class represents a share provider operation.
ShareProvidersRequestedEventArgs	The event args of ShareProvidersRequested.
ShareTargetInfo	This class contains information about a share target.
ShareUIOptions	This class represents the options that are available to the user when showing the ShareUI.
StandardDataFormats	Contains static properties that return string values. Each string corresponds to a known format ID. Use this class to avoid errors in using string constants to specify data formats.
TargetApplicationChosenEventArgs	Contains information about the target app the user chose to share content with. To get this object, you must handle the TargetApplicationChosen event.

Enums

ClipboardHistoryItemsResultStatus	Represents the return status of a call to the GetHistoryItemsAsync method to get the list of items currently in the clipboard history.
