[Solved] DatabaseLocation.Fullpath

[Dirk]

Have you an example how to create and use a database by using the option DatabaseLocation.Fullpath ?
I'm not sure if it is possible to use this option in a published Windows Store App.
By default it is not allowed to open a file outside the local or roaming storage section.
And if you want to access a file from 'outside' then you have to use the StorageFile class.

So again, do you have a working example for 'DatabaseLocation.Fullpath' and are you sure that you can use it in a published Windows Store app?

Hi Dirk,

Thank you for your question.

The option DatabaseLocation.Fullpath can be used to create a database using the fully specified path to a file located in sub-folder of any isolated storage of Windows RT: local, roaming and temporary storage sections as you mentioned. This option is intended to be used in the case when you have a custom folders structure prepared in any of the available sections and you want to create a database file anywhere in this hierarchy. For example:

string fullPath = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.TemporaryFolder.Path + "\\ResourcesFolder\\DB_Storage\\BikesStore_DB_10.db3";
 BikesDatabase database = new BikesDatabase(fullPath, DatabaseLocation.Fullpath);

The database "BikesStore_DB_10.db3" will be created in "ResourcesFolder\DB_Storage" subfolder of the TemporaryFolder folder.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to contact us again.
