title: Using FileOpenPicker in Windows 8 Store Apps to browse your own resource directory on page startup
body: <p>I have a windows 8 Store App page(say PhotoPage.xaml).
  In my app I have an embedded Image resource folder in "Assets\Images" in which I have many images present.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3Boky.png" alt="Image Folder in App"></p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to populate all the images inside this Images folder on page load of the "PhotoPage.xaml" page.</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>FileOpenPicker</code> but I guess I cant browse a custom folder on <code>SuggestedStartLocation</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I tried :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker openPicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker();
  openPicker.SuggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.PicturesLibrary;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>According to <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/windows.storage.pickers.pickerlocationid.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this </a> PickerLocationId can have only few locations..</p>
  
  <p>So is there any way to browse my Images folder on startup(page load) of my PhotoPage.xaml page.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks &amp; Regards,</p>
