Get Windows.Storage.StorageFile object without using StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync
To obtain a Windows.Storage.StorageFile
object without using StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync
, you can use the Windows.Storage.StorageFolder
APIs to access the file indirectly. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
csharpusing System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Windows.Storage;
public async Task<StorageFile> GetStorageFileAsync(string filePath)
{
try
{
string folderPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath);
string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(filePath);
// Access the parent folder
StorageFolder folder = await StorageFolder.GetFolderFromPathAsync(folderPath);
// Retrieve the file within the parent folder
StorageFile file = await folder.GetFileAsync(fileName);
// Return the StorageFile object
return file;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Handle any exceptions that may occur
Console.WriteLine("Error retrieving StorageFile: " + ex.Message);
return null;
}
}
In this example, the GetStorageFileAsync
method takes the filePath
parameter, which represents the full path to the file you want to obtain a StorageFile
object for.
The code uses System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName
and System.IO.Path.GetFileName
to extract the folder path and file name from the given filePath
.
It then accesses the parent folder using StorageFolder.GetFolderFromPathAsync
and retrieves the file within that folder using StorageFolder.GetFileAsync
.
Finally, the method returns the StorageFile
object representing the file, or null
if any exception occurs during the process.
Note that this approach indirectly obtains the StorageFile
object by accessing the parent folder and retrieving the file within it. This can be useful if you want to avoid using StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync
directly.
Make sure to handle exceptions appropriately and adjust the code to fit your specific requirements.
