Question

I have a sqlite database declared in the root of my project (belongside MainPage.xaml etc.).

How can i place this database in IsolatedStorage? I can’t seem to open the database now so i think it might be because it’s not in Isolated Storage. How can i move it?

Answer 1

Here is the code I used:

IsolatedStorageFile isf = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();

if (!isf.FileExists("my.db"))
{
    StreamResourceInfo sri = App.GetResourceStream(new Uri("my.db", UriKind.Relative));

    IsolatedStorageFileStream isfs = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("my.db", FileMode.Create, IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication());

    long FileLength = (long)sri.Stream.Length;
    byte[] byteInput = new byte[FileLength];
    sri.Stream.Read(byteInput, 0, byteInput.Length);
    isfs.Write(byteInput, 0, byteInput.Length);

    sri.Stream.Close();
    isfs.Close();
} 

If I remember correctly, you have to mark your DB as Content/Copy Always.
