I am launching the mailto app in this way :-
using Windows.System;
//starts the default mail app with a subject, cc, bcc, and body
Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("mailto:windows8devs@almostbeta.com?subject=Code Request&cc=kevin@almostbeta.com&bcc=admin@almostbeta.com&body=Hi!"));
1) Can't we attach attachments to mailto app in windows 8?
2) If so please let me know what would be the work around ?
Thanks in advance.
No, you can't attach files to mail app in Windows 8.
You need to use Sharing. Take a look to this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh871371.aspx, for an example on how to share files.
