I'm developing a Windows Phone 8.1 (non silverlight) project and i'm very new to the platform.
I'm having a really hard time trying to access a pdf file from the web and saving it to the phone. First, i searched for how to display the pdf file inside the app without saving it, and learned that it can't be done.
Then i searched for a way to download the file and save it localy. Every example i found ended it up in a dead end; i tried with WebClient, and found out that i must switch to HttpClient, i tried with IsolateStorageFile and found that i must use ApplicationDataContainer.
It's becoming really frustrating searching for simple things for hours and hours without any result.
Can someone point me to an example, or anything else ?
