I'm working on project to open Thumbscache.db files located at
C:\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
What is ThumbCache.db or Thumbs.db is?
On computers running Microsoft Windows, a thumbnail cache is used to store thumbnail images for Windows Explorer when thumbnail view is enabled. This process allows images to display faster because these smaller images do not need to be recalculated every time a user visits the folder containing them.
Problem statement:
I've found a library that can help access/read these(thumbscache) files, so to access/read these files library need a path to the files and filename. Problem I'm facing is that when I gave path location to the file its show my object reference null error, I've debugged my code and checked it and path is store in form of string.
Attached images will help to elaborate what my issues is.
In debugging phase i goto the reference of library class which accept the filepath/filename have following code:
namespace ThumbDBLib
{
public class ThumbDB
{
public ThumbDB(string thumbDBFile);
public byte[] GetThumbData(string filename);
public string[] GetThumbfiles();
}
}
And i call and desribe my location to the file is in following code:
string ThumbDb = (Server.MapPath(".") + "\\thumbs.db");
if (File.Exists(ThumbDb))
{
ThumbDB ThumbLib = new ThumbDB(ThumbDb);
}
Here is the attached image of error
