The File picker sample demonstrates how to show files of any type in the file picker for the user to pick from.
var openPicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker(); openPicker.viewMode = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerViewMode.list; openPicker.suggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.documentsLibrary; openPicker.fileTypeFilter.replaceAll(["*"]);
