Winrt c# copy image from asset to localstorage

Question

I come to you today because i don't know how to copy an image from asset to localstorage. I try a something like :

StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(
    new Uri("appx:///Assets/image.png"));

await file.CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, "image.png");

But it doesn't work at all. Does anyone have an idea to do this right ? Thanks for your time, Regards.

Answer 1

Your Uri scheme is invalid. It should be ms-appx:, not appx::

StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(
    new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/image.png"));

await file.CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, "image.png");

See this post for valid Uri schemes: URI schemes supported in Windows 8 apps
