Question
I'm currently storing my sqlite db file in the App_Data folder as per ASP.NET best pattern and practices.
Currently I'm using the following in the webconfig:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="sqlite"
connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|MyDB; Version=3;" />
</connectionStrings>
and the following in code:
public SqliteDAO(string path)
{
Connection = new System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection(path );
}
//...
//where path = |DataDirectory|MyDB
It causes sqlite to make a NEW database (with no tables in it), and thus none of my data access calls work, since they aren't finding the table names. How do I reference the sqlite db file in the App_Data folder from my WebApplication code??
Thanks!
Solution
Use Server.MapPath to your db file. So it would be something like
Server.MapPath(@"~\App_Data\Your.db");
