  The code sample for file activation on MSDN is lacking some code so a simple way to pass the file clicked to your MainPage could be:

  protected override void OnFileActivated(FileActivatedEventArgs args)

  {

      var page = new Frame();

      page.Navigate(typeof(MainPage));

      Window.Current.Content = page;

   

      var p = page.Content as MainPage;

      if (p != null) p.FileEvent = args;

      Window.Current.Activate();

  }

  And in MainPage:

  public MainPage()

  {

      InitializeComponent();

      Loaded += MainPageLoaded;

  }

  void MainPageLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

  {

      if (FileEvent != null && FileEvent.Files.Count > 0)

      {

          //… do something with file

      }

  }
