什么是DataDirectory

Hello,

I see that one of the new features of SSEv is DataDirectory support.

Where is DataDirectory pointing to? Is it the same directory as the program ".exe" file?

Thank you

Tom

Hi,



|DataDirectory| (enclosed in pipe symbols) is a substitution string that indicates the path to the database. It eliminates the need to hard-code the full path which leads to several problems as the full path to the database could be serialized in different places. DataDirectory also makes it easy to share a project and also to deploy an application.

For example, instead of having the following connection string:

"Data Source= c:/program files/MyApp/Mydb.sdf"



Using DataDirectory, you can have the following connection string:

“Data Source = |DataDirectory|/Mydb.sdf”

To set the DataDirectory property, call the AppDomain.SetData method. If you do not set the DataDirectory property, the following default rules will be applied to access the database folder:
• For applications that are put in a folder on the user's computer, the database folder uses the application folder.
• For applications that are running under ClickOnce, the database folder uses the specific data folder that is created.

Please let us know if it answers your question.

Thanks

自己的感想：
            string dataName = "DataDirectory";
            string dataValue = Application.StartupPath;
            AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
            currentDomain.SetData(dataName,dataValue);
这样设定以后，就可以了，不会出现读不出来的情况
