I have these 2 functions to save and read files on a windows store app project:
public async Task GravaFicheiro(string url,string nome)
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage message = await client.GetAsync(url);
StorageFolder myfolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile sampleFile = await myfolder.CreateFileAsync(nome, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
byte[] file = await message.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
await FileIO.WriteBytesAsync(sampleFile, file);
var files = await myfolder.GetFilesAsync();
}
public async Task<StorageFile> LeFicheiro(string nome)
{
StorageFolder myfolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile sampleFile = await myfolder.CreateFileAsync(nome, CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
return sampleFile;
}
now im trying to get a file and opening it with the default app to open those files, in this particular case im trying to open a pdf.
public async void DefaultLaunch(string path)
{
// Path to the file in the app package to launch
string p2 = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.Path +"\\"+ path;
var file = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync(p2);
if (file != null)
{
// Set the option to show the picker
var options = new Windows.System.LauncherOptions();
options.DisplayApplicationPicker = true;
// Launch the retrieved file
bool success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file, options);
if (success)
{
// File launched
}
else
{
// File launch failed
}
}
else
{
// Could not find file
}
}
but when i pass the file name to the function, it doesnt get recoginzed
Additional information: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)
can anyone help?
This is the source of the error:
string p2 = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.Path +"\\"+ path;
var file = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync(p2);
You are calling GetFileAsync
on a Package.Current.InstalledLocation
StorageFolder
, but you are passing it a path to the StorageFile
in different location (ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder
).
If you want to get a file from LocalFolder
, get a reference to it:
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile file = await local.GetFileAsync(path);
