Accessing Deployment Files #23833

Open jbeen25 opened 1 month ago

jbeen25 commented 1 month ago

Description

This seems to be a long-standing issue of not being able to access an assortment of files that are deployed with the application: SQLite, images, binary, (anything that is not text-based).

I am presuming the only solution around this is creating a Rest API or FTP server and downloading content to csharp FileSystem.AppDataDirectory; even though, they are relatively tiny files.

I have created a small project to test some theories with no success in getting around this so far.

You have some extra clutter that describes these files and might interfere with how the resources are added.

If you remove these, does that change anything?

Yes, it now works. I honestly can't believe it was that simple.

Here are the steps I took, which automatically created this code: 1) Select any file from File Explorer. 2) Drag the selected file to Visual Studios->Solution Explorer. 3) Drop the file in the Raw folder.

This automatically triggers an event within Visual Studios to edit project code adding the following lines you have pointed out.

Thank you for helping solve this silly problem; hopefully, others will find this when they stumble on it as well.
