Access Photos stored on WP7 device

Question

Is there any other way to access the photos stored on a WP7 device other than the PhotoChooserTask?

Answer 1

If you add a reference to Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll (yes, even in a Silverlight app) you can access the PicturesCollection.

var ml = new Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media.MediaLibrary();

using (var pics = ml.Pictures)
{
    foreach (var picture in pics)
    {
        // voila! access to the pictures on the phone
    }
}
