title: Reading iOS drive with VB.NET
body: <p>I have a VS2015 / VB.Net app which reads folders/files on connected removable drives and I'd like to expand the app functionality to also read files from a virtual iOS folder (eg: connected iPhone). iOS drives are not mapped to a drive letter so my app cannot recognize it. I have been searching extensively for ways to do this and concluded it cannot be done natively with just VB.Net. It appears I need a hook of some sort that my app calls which can read the iPhone photo files. I came across "UWP" in my web research and have a couple questions before I even think of committing to it: 1) Can UWP in fact read iPhone folders connected to a Win 10 desktop? 2) Is UWP integrated with Visual Studio 2017? 3) Is VS2017 backward compatible with VS2015?</p>
