Examples

This example shows you how to access basic properties of a file using the storageFile.getBasicPropertiesAsync method.

JavaScript
storageFile.getBasicPropertiesAsync().then(
    function (basicProperties) {
        var size  = basicProperties.size;
    }
);

You must have a StorageFile object (storageFile in the example) that represents your file in order to use the storageFile.getBasicPropertiesAsync method.
