We a WPF application that is used as our shell which replaces the Windows 10 shell.
Is it possible from our WPF app to launch Universal windows app?
I have found some links to deep-linking but I am concerned that this will not work if I do not have the windows shell running.

I am new to Windows Development. And as per criteria of my Internship they want an application from me on windows store whether UWP, WPF or Windows form. Now as I made an application on Windows form(C#). My question is that how to publish my application on windows store? Or whether a Windows form application can be published to store or not. Or I have to make a WPF or UWP application?
As a developer who creates some apps for the Windows Store, I think that you can only submit UWP. Because Visual Studio only generates store packages if you are working in a UWP project.
However, Microsoft is working in Project Centennial a desktop to store app converter.
I have a windows desktop app done in VB. Can I have same app to work on windows mobile also?
As far as I know windows mobile development is different and windows desktop development is different. Can we have 1 single app that works for both(windows mobile & windows desktop)?
I have developed a windows mobile app before and I had done it through Visual studio(Xaml and C#).
I have also worked with windows desktop app visual studio(c#).
If it is possible to have single app for both mobile and desktop then will the existing VB.net app will work? Or do I have to build a separate app from scratch?
That depends on what you mean by "Windows Mobile".
If you mean the old Windows that runs on old mobile devices called "Windows Mobile", then yes, you can have a single app for desktop and mobile providing you use .NET Compact Framework.
But if by "Windows Mobile" you mean "Windows Phone", then no. You cannot have a WPF/WinForms application that can run on Windows Phone devices. However, you can develop Windows Store app (or Universal Application for Windows 10) using Windows Runtime, that will run on desktop, tablet or phone.
What is Universal Windows Application?
Is there a way to do this?
Or at least download the executable and letting user open it?
I want to create a WinRT that depends on a desktop service like this
So either sideload the WinRT from desktop or install the desktop app from Metro.
You can't do that in WinRT today. If you had an executable created for ARM Windows RT today, then you could run the app but Microsoft has not released any tools to create such an executable that runs as a desktop app on Windows RT.
Recently I was asked to work on a project which was developed for an aviculture company.
The client asked if I can make the application which was being developed in C#, to work on a tablet.
So i want to know if i finish the application in c# normally Will I be able to:
1.Use the mono for android and compile the whole project with that and get an android app easily for being used in android devices?
2.Use the executable project on a Windows 8 tablet without any changes?
I would be grateful if any one could answer these two questions.
It depends which tablet you're talking about.
On a Windows RT (ARM based) tablet like Surface, only Metro apps are supported. There are a few desktop apps, but only Microsoft can make them. So if your app is a desktop app, it won't run on Surface RT.
On a tablet with the "real" Windows 8 (x86 based, e.g. Surface Pro), you can run the same apps as on a PC.
I am launching openoffice 3.3.0 on Windows 7 from a WPF app no problem, however when launching on XP openoffice always goes behind my WPF any way to stop this ?
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\soffice.exe
Guessing here.
Is there no way to launch a program and specify that it opens on-top/in-front?
Or do you need to minimize the WPF application to allow OO.o to show up on top. You may just have gotten lucky on Windows 7.
