I'm looking for a way to open pdf and offices files(execl, word and stuff) from within my xamarin forms project.
so far i only found native ways to do this. and it is true that you can only open files local on the device?
I been looking at the xamarin components store, the xamarin developer documents and here on SO, and the closest thing i got was this
Anyway, anything would be awesome. thanks for your time
To anyone else.
You could just code the native way to do this, an then invoke that. much faster then looking for a plugin

I am currently working on a solution where i want to livestream from my app. I succesfully get my camerastream working with avfoundation. The next step in order to complete my task is to send my video frames to a rtmp server but I am not sure on how i can accomplish this in xamarin forms ios.
For swift there is a library called https://github.com/jgh-/VideoCore that solves this but do we have something similiar in xamarin (any library) or documentation on examples that tackles this issue?
Thanks a lot!
Maybe it's a bit late for you, but this can probably help someone who wants to do the same thing (like I did), you can use the Xamarin port of LFLiveKit:
https://github.com/rhedgpeth/Xamarin-LFLiveKit
You'll have to implement a custom renderer to use it with forms, but it's not too hard if you follow the sample project in the repository.
I'm looking for a point in the right direction. We're thinking of building an app in our office, and one of the features we're looking at is to be able to open and save files from our app in other apps and applications.
We came across the File Picker Contract which, with some simple examples, seems to be what we're looking for. But the one thing missing is it only seems to be available in other Universal apps (but it doesn't seem all of them).
Using multiple examples, we were able to see our apps in our other apps, but I'm hoping to take it further. For example, I thought Office 2016 was a Universal app, so shouldn't File Picker Contract apps appear in there as well? And is there a way to add it globally to all File Open / Save Pickers (like from notepad, or the snipping tool)?
This MSDN page (article) seems to suggest the picker uses a single, unified interface. Shouldn't that be the same interface the rest of the operating system uses?
Thanks in advance.
If you have to support Classic Windows apps, filepickercontract is not a right solution. It's only applicable for 'modern'... Win8.1 store or Win10 UWP apps.
And, current office2016(for desktop) is not an UWP app, I believe. UWP ver of Office 2016 is only applicable for Win10 Mobile.
One alternative is make a shell extension. By using this, you can extend the explorer's shell space and add your own items to explorer tree. But shell extension is so complex, old and only applicable for desktop devicefamily. I don't think that now is a nice timing to implement it.
I hope this answer could help you.
Anyone know of any good references for building applications for IE 8? I found this http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430228539 (but not yet released)
for example: I would like to build a simple toolbar app that records visited websites. That possible?
Or are they other suggestions on how to build this type of application?

MSDN seems like the ideal source.

Well, the screenshot you linked is already from a site that tells you one way to do it...
ADX is an amazing component set that's worth every single penny (also check their discounts page)!
I guess I should add that I am not affiliated with Add-in-Express. I am just a happy user of their product and was a bit surprised that you linked to their site yet asked exactly for what they're offering. They even have extensive video tutorials on how to create Outlook form regions.
Maybe you should rephrase your question? Maybe you want to know how to achieve that same effect without using ADX?
Just found the way to do this. This two websites help a lot to accomplish that.

You need to developed Com Addin using Addin Express. I have done similar thing. You can subscribe either standard version of Pro version of Addin Express

I thought it would be easy to find, I was wrong.
Dialog Requirements:
Can browse MULTIPLE FILES/FOLDERS in the same time.
Can be used in .NET windows forms.
FREE or can be used under GPL.
Works in Win Xp and Win 7.
Dialog Preferences:
C#
Looks like OpenFileDialog in .NET.
Has textbox for pasting path.
I have tried few examples from WEB, none met all Requirements!
Some examples, closest to solution for now:
http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.net/class-opendialogmbs.shtml, it is no free
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/FileDialogs.aspx, WIN7 problem
Have you tried Ookii.Dialogs?
It should match all your requirements, or be at least a very good starting point.
