Content prefetch sample

Demonstrates how to use the ContentPrefetcher to add or clear direct content Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) or indirect content URIs. It also shows how to get the last successful prefetch time.

To force the operating system to perform a prefetch of these contents in a developer scenario for testing, a desktop application must use the IContentPrefetcherTaskTrigger's TriggerContentPrefetcherTask method to trigger an immediate prefetch operation.

The sample demonstrates these tasks:

1. Add a direct content URI

   This scenario shows how to add direct content URIs to the ContentUris property for content prefetching or to clear all direct content URIs.

2. Set an indirect content URI

   This scenario shows how to use the IndirectContentUri property to add indirect content URIs for content prefetching or to clear the indirect content URI.

3. Get the last prefectch time

   This scenario shows how to use the LastSuccessfulPrefetchTime property to get the last prefetch time.
