title: Including SQLite DB file with data in the UWP application
body: <p>I'm trying to include a SQLite file with the UWP application. SQLite file has a number of tables in it populated with data.</p>
  
  <p>The database (for now, at least) is read-only and I'm planning to use EF Core to access the data.</p>
  
  <p>So i have two questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>What is the correct way to bundle this file with the application.</li>
  <li>How do I compose the file path to access that file from UWP applciation?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Setting .sqlite file's "Copy to output directory" setting to "Copy always" seems to copy the file to bin folder but I can't seem to figure out the path to access it. When setting the SQLite conenction string to "Filename=databasename.sqlite" - it seems to create a blank DB file elsewhere, as tryign to access any of the tables throws a table not found exception.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
