Intergration with Windows 8.1 Photos App Share Charm

Question

I can not find any documentation on this anywhere, so excuse me if this is in a guide somewhere.
I want my application to run whenever the user opens the native 'photos' app, then goes to the share option in the charms menu. My current computer says 'You don't have any apps that can share this content.' I want my application to appear there.
I would like to do this in C#, but can use whatever is best.

Hi,
According to your description, you want your app can receives content shared from another app. If so, you have to declare that it supports the Share contract. This contract lets the system know that your app is available to receive content. If you're using
a Visual Studio template to create your app, here's how you support the Share contract:
Open the manifest file. It should be called something like package.appxmanifest.
Open the Declarations tab.
Choose Share Target from the Available Declarations list and click
Add.
For more information, please see the link:

Sharing content target app sample
