I'm currently trying to save an stream containing a jpeg image I got back from the camera to the local storage folder. The files are being created but unfortunately contain no data at all. Here is the code I'm trying to use:
public async Task SaveToLocalFolderAsync(Stream file, string fileName)
{
StorageFolder localFolder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile storageFile = await localFolder.CreateFileAsync(fileName, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
using (IRandomAccessStream fileStream = await storageFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite))
{
using (IOutputStream outputStream = fileStream.GetOutputStreamAt(0))
{
using (DataWriter dataWriter = new DataWriter(outputStream))
{
dataWriter.WriteBytes(UsefulOperations.StreamToBytes(file));
await dataWriter.StoreAsync();
dataWriter.DetachStream();
}
await outputStream.FlushAsync();
}
}
}
public static class UsefulOperations
{
public static byte[] StreamToBytes(Stream input)
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
input.CopyTo(ms);
return ms.ToArray();
}
}
}
Any help saving files this way would be greatly appreciated - all help I have found online refer to saving text. I'm using the Windows.Storage namespace so it should work with Windows 8 too.
