StorageFile class provides us with the method called GetThumbnailAsync with the help of which we can retrieve the thumbnail of a storage file in Windows phone app.
Important Note:
This method works only on the Storage Files that are stored in public directory of the phone. It doesn’t work on the files that are present in app data container or Local Storage of the app.
