Parent elements

Parent element	Description
uap:Extension	Declares an extensibility point for the app.

Remarks

When a device that is not volume-based is connected to a computer, the system raises an AutoPlay device event. This extensibility point enables your app to be listed as an AutoPlay choice for one or more AutoPlay device events. Because these devices are not volume-based, the system provides the app with device information rather than a file folder.
