UWP List Assets Files












0















I'm trying to view the files in my "Assets" folder. I can see if one file is there because it won't allow me to add it again. However, I want to see all of the files in the debugger but I get the following error:



"To inspect the native object, enable native code debugging."



Here is the code I'm trying to debug/inspect.



StorageFolder appInstalledFolder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
StorageFolder assets1 = await appInstalledFolder.GetFolderAsync("Assets");
var files = await assets1.GetFilesAsync();


I've added the following code but still getting the Native code error.



StorageFolder folder = await Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFolderAsync("Assets");
// StorageFolder folder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var options = new QueryOptions();
options.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpg");//this will add .csv files to query options
options.FolderDepth = FolderDepth.Deep;//optional
StorageFileQueryResult query = folder.CreateFileQueryWithOptions(options);
IReadOnlyList<StorageFile> fileList = await query.GetFilesAsync();


error from debugger: To inspect the native object, enable native code debugging.

This is reproducible by hovering mouse over the variable when debugging:



Reproduction of the error



The reason for this error is the fact that the returned instance is not a classic .NET type but a projection of a native WinRT list into .NET. The proof of this Visual Studio displays just System.__ComObject instead of a type. However, this type acts as a IReadOnlyList<StorageFile> so you can use it as a list even though it is a native type.



If you want to be able to see the contents in the debugger, you will need to manually convert it to a purely .NET type, for example using ToArray LINQ extension method:



var files = 
(await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFilesAsync())
.ToArray();


This will make files a regular .NET array, which is fully inspectable by the debugger.
