How to properly specify FileOpenpicker.FileTypeFilter syntax for UWP

Is there a way to specify the filter like in OpenFileDialog, e.g. 

openFileDialog.Filter = "Text Files (.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*"

FileOpenpicker.FileTypeFilter.Add doesn't seem to accept the same syntax. MSDN is a poor source of information in these regards and does not provide examples for vb.net

You probably got it by now, but in any case this is the way to do it (C#):

    openPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".xxx");
    openPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".yyy");
    openPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add("*");

This will show 3 items on the list (.xxx), (.yyy) and "All files (*)".
