Local Database Options for Windows Store Apps

I am looking to create an application that will allow for entry of data from a user and write it to a database file system locally within the application.
I am new to Windows Store type app development and are a senior developer for ERP systems for the enterprise which have rich databases and client apps that are built with a MVC type configuration. The app communicates with the database which is on the DB
server (Oracle, IBM DB2, or SQL Server) and writes to the file system.
For my startup applications I would like to have a simple CRUD type interface that writes to a DB that is part of the application and does not require a connection to a file server or DB server.  Internally I would like something with a few tables,
etc.. that I can write to and then report from locally.
In the Windows 8x development world, what is the best method and technology to use for Store Apps for this scenario?  What is the best approach?

There is SQLite for Windows RT and Windows Phone.
Search "SQLite" in vs extensions and updates

    SDF files are used by Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition. SQL CE is not supported for Windows Store Apps/Universal Apps. Only WP Silverlight Apps can use SQL CE. You will have to switch to a different database format.
    As far as I know the only DB currently supported for local deployment with Windows Store Apps is SQLite.
    This article gives an introduction on how to get started with SQLite in Universal Apps:

  • Which Nuget Package for Azure Service Bus can I use for Windows Store apps?

    Hi,
    I want to use the Azure Service Bus Topics. I have an app that needs to subscribe to the Service bus Topic. The Nuget-Package for Azure Service Bus is not applicable for Windows Store Apps (I get an error during install), thats why I used the Windows Azure
    Service Bus managed for Windows Store. Unfortunatelly this API throws a Serialization Exception when I create a subscription. What can I do to use the Service bus in Windows store apps?
    Thats how I try to create the subscription:
    await Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Messaging.Subscription.CreateAsync(TOPIC_NAME, SUBSCRIPTION_NAME, CONNECTION_STRING);

    Yes this is the one I used.
    But creating a subscription with the code above throws the SerializationException mentioned in this question:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/1acb887e-d5f1-4bfb-8eb9-f8ce7390ae7b/microsoftwindowsazuremessagingsubscriptioncreateasync-throws-an?forum=servbus&prof=required.
    Maybe I do something wrong? Do I Need to do something before creating the subscription?
    I haven't found any sample that shows how you can subscribe to a Topic and receive Messages using the restricted Api for winrt :(
    Any suggestions?

  • How to use offline map for windows store app using c# and xaml

    Hi friends,
    I want to integrate offline map in my windows store app but I am not able to achieve that.
    Below is my requirement:
    When a user wants to go somewhere where she/he doesn't want to use wi-fi or mobile data but wants to use map to assist her/him to roam around. For this I want to give an option to download the map for that region/area before leaving for that place and there
    she/he can use map even in offline.
    Is it possible that I can achieve this using Bing maps?
    If yes then tell me the processes to follow.
    If no then can I achieve this using "Here" or by using any other API or by tweaking any way?
    Note: I am showing maps in case of online and user can search for directions or any places in that. I am using Bing maps for that.
    Thanks,
    S.Sandeep

    Hi Sandeepmsandy,
    There is no available code sample for this scenario. You may write your own.
    Step 1: Get pdf URL from sqlite database. Please refer to the following MSDN blog and see a code sample.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertgreen/archive/2012/11/13/using-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps.aspx. Note, you need to retarget the project to 8.1 and then get two sqlite packages from NuGet before building this sample.
    Step 2: Use some special classes to get file from serer.
    HttpWebRequest can help download small pdf files. For more information to see
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/de96a61c-e089-4595-8349-612be5d23ee6/download-file-with-httpwebrequest?forum=winappswithcsharp. It’s easy for use, but if you want to download the larger or many files, it’s recommend to use
    BackgroundTransfer namespace. The classes in this namespace provide a power way to transfer files in the background. See a code sample from MSND.

    Error 
    Program c:\Users\.........\Desktop\Blog_Reader\Blog_Reader\obj\Release\intermediatexaml\Blog_Reader.exe' does not contain a static 'Main'

    Solution for that is like below.
    Go to your App.Xaml and Right-Click thenGo to Properties
    Check whether the Build Action is
    ApplicationDefinition

  • Trigger Windows Store Apps update by script at first login

    Hi
    Is it possible to trigger Windows 8.1 to check for Windows Store Apps updates at first login?
    My issue is that when I add language packs to my Windows 8.1 images, the default apps (Mail, Calendar, Food and Drinks) are still in English. Not until the Windows Store apps are updated will they change to the correct language (Language of the
    OS). I have turned on autodownload in the registry using this registry key:
    REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /v "AutoDownload" /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f
    It seems kind of random how long it takes before the autodownload kicks in. Some times it just a reboot and other times it takes like 24 hours. Can I trigger this update to start with some kind of script?

  • Can I use the new Bing Maps control released in Feb 2015 in my windows store app?

    Can I use the new Bing Maps control released in Feb 2015 in my windows store app?  If not, will there be a release of the store app version that has all or most of the updates that are in the new map control for WPF/Silverlight?

    The FEB 2015 release was for the WPF map control which is for desktop only. There is an existing Bing Maps SDK for Windows Store apps which has a lot more functionality than the WPF map control already. You can find this SDK here:
    https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/224eb93a-ebc4-46ba-9be7-90ee777ad9e1
    You can find documentation this SDK here:

    Also, I have written a free ebook on this SDK here:

  • Windows Store App Builder now available!

    App Builder for Windows Store applications is now available! All DPS Professional and Enterprise customers can build Windows viewers by visiting http://appbuilder.digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/.
    Submitting apps to the Windows Store is somewhat different than what you may be used to on iOS and Android so Bob's put together a handy set of help topics to guide you through the process:

    DPS on Windows 8.1 is pure genius on the part of the DPS team. On a tablet
    it’s all about touch of course, but on a desktop or laptop it works
    beautifully with keyboard and mouse.
    For a sample of it, download Adobe’s Inspire Magazine app from the Windows

  • How can we get a url for a "Meet Now" conference call from within the Windows Store App?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to get the url for the current meeting / new "Meet Now" call from within the Windows Store app?
    You have the option of inviting your current Lync contacts, but I don't see a way of giving a URL to clients that would launch Lync on their device, or take them to the web app.
    I can see how to get the link using the Outlook plugin, for pre-scheduled meetings. Is this link always the same and the one that should be used for an impromptu "Meet Now" meeting? It would still be good to know how to get this URL from within
    the store app so I can tell clients where to get it.
    Some people may be on Windows RT devices and not have access to the plugin in Outlook, and want to start a meeting at short notice and then invite others via email or pasting a link to them elsewhere.
    Any help appreciated.
    If I have answered your question, please mark it as the correct answer. If I have provided helpful information, please mark it as so.

    Hi,
    Agree with Holger, I check on my Lync Windows Store app and can't find the meeting URL as well.

  • Integrate existing VB database with windows store app

    Hi
    Can I integrate a VB Database Access 2007 with a Windows 2008 store app?
    If yes, can I have a hyperlink that retrieves a search inside this database and goes directly to a page created by this database?
    Imagine that I have an e-book with a table of contents where I have several hyperlinks for a query that shows me a specific poem and image inside a page.
    Is there a sample?
    thanks

    Hi Rui - there are no APIs that will connect to an Access database directly within a Windows Store app. You can convert the database to SQLite, or provide a web-based interface to the Access database in order to retrieve/update the data.

  • Windows store app how to load a DLL in local directory or the SDcard

    The DLL is notpackaged together with APP,
    but by APP download from our company's Web site,
    and then placed the DLL
    in SDcard or a local directory.(DLL不是和APP一起打包，而是通过APP从公司网站上下载了相应的DLL然后放在SD卡中或APP本地目录中。)
    Question（问题）
    1、Windows store APP how
    to dynamically load a dll in
    a directory, and then call
    the interface of DLL?(APP如何能动态的加载并调用某一个目录中的DLL呢？)
    2、How to manually push a
    DLL into the phone?(如何手动把DLL放到手机中？)
    Can you share your code of a Demo？

    We do have
    such a demand:
    APP Test against
    many different devices, each device
    provides several  DLLs for APP
    to perform different tests,
    However,
    to the APP DLL interface
    is the same(such as: start()/end()...).
    To test
    a type of device, user need to download DLLs of the device
    from our website, the only way to support for test
    a device. When users
    download the DLLs for a device, then they can
    select the device
    for testing. At this
    time
    ,we can
    know the name of the DLLs   and load them.
    We support
    hundreds of devices, each device has a number of
    DLL files!!!
    we also do it on android and iOS.
    If can not achieve the
    requirements, we may have to give up
    the windows platform
