c# - How to download any type file on Windows 8?

Question

In a Windows 8 application, I've figured out how to download a file with a browser. I have used Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri). The browser opens and asks the user to save or open the file.

But I want to download a file to disk/storage within a Windows 8 application. How can I achieve this?

If you want to download a file in the background. Please look at this sample.
