THE PROBLEM
I want to get all the path of the files with "custom made" file extension (.pssm and .pnsm) from a folder, and to every of its subfolders (Deep Search) IN A WINDOWS 8 STORE (TABLET) APP.
THE STEPS
- Pick a parent folder with a - FolderPicker, and save the folder path string- private async void BrowseButton_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e) { FolderPicker fPicker = new FolderPicker(); fPicker.SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.DocumentsLibrary; fPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".pnsm"); fPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".pssm"); StorageFolder sFolder = await fPicker.PickSingleFolderAsync(); if (sFolder != null) { StorageApplicationPermissions.FutureAccessList.AddOrReplace("PickedFolderToken", sFolder); (DataContext as MainPageVM).ParentFolder = sFolder.Path; } }
- Search all the file which extension either .pssm or .pnsm under previously saved folder path string and its subfolders. 
THE QUESTION
How to do step #2?
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
This is how I do it in my desktop app version (desktop XAML app, not windows 8 one), maybe it can be used as reference (i don't know how to adapt it to win 8 app).
    private async void ButtonRefresh_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        searchProgress = new Progress<int>(progressTarget);
        List<string> queriedPaths =
            await Task.Run<List<string>>(() => GetAllAccessibleFiles(s, exts, searchProgress));
        (DataContext as MainWindowVM).RefreshList(queriedPaths);
        SaveSearch();

        if (alreadyFound == null)
        {
            alreadyFound = new List<string>();
        }
        if (searchProgress != null)
        {
            counter++;
            searchProgress.Report(counter);
        }
        DirectoryInfo dI = new DirectoryInfo(rootPath);
        var dirs = dI.EnumerateDirectories().ToList();
        foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in dirs)
        {
            if (!((dir.Attributes & FileAttributes.Hidden) == FileAttributes.Hidden))
            {
                alreadyFound = GetAllAccessibleFiles(dir.FullName, exts, searchProgress, alreadyFound);
            }
        }
        var files = Directory.GetFiles(rootPath);
        foreach (string file in files)
        {
            if (exts.Any(x => file.EndsWith(x)))
            {
                alreadyFound.Add(file);
            }
        }
        return alreadyFound;
    }
 
                        
It appears that I just a bit near the answer. I have no idea why I didn't cross my mind. So, here's the update to my
RefreshButton_Tappedto fetch all the paths.If anyone have a better answer, feel free to.
