I'm trying to access a .js file. The file is located inside Database folder and named myfile.js which is just a JSON formatted text-file.
This is the code I'm using (this is run from MainPage.xaml.cs:
Uri uri = new Uri("/Database/myfile.js", UriKind.Relative);
var resource = Application.GetResourceStream(uri);
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(resource.Stream);
string rawData = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
It always throw an exception of NullReferenceException because the resource variable is null.
So, the problem is in the Uri. I tried to use:
@"/Database/myfile.js"
"/Database/myfile.js"
"/LQI;component/Database/myfile.js"
But it doesn't work. When I tried to move my file to root directory and replace the Uri string with
@"myfile.js"
it works! But I don't want that.
I also tried to rename the extension become .txt but nothing.
Please help. Thanks!
Edit: I set the Build Action to "Content" which is default. I tried to set it to "Resource" but it doesn't work neither.
Edit #2: Okay, I found a clue (https://stackoverflow.com/a/12122332/2649132) that the LQI;component/Database/myfile.js only work when I set the item into Resource. And it does work.
But, the question will be still open since I doesn't work when I set the build action to "Content" with regular path.
