Hello,
storing the LocalID seems to be the fastest solution, but is probably a
big NoNo on NVFS devices as localID is not guaranteed
to remain the same. The safe way would be to store the names (but would be
slow, as locating a database is a linear search.)
With best regards,
Miro Pomsar

Hi Vesselin,
I can only think of one more option, not sure if it's that practical
but...
How about mark the relevant databases as recyclable and reset the device
on completion?

Subject: Deleting databases during their enumeration
Hello folks,
My application enumerates all databases in the main memory of the
device, using a DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator loop. Each database found
is examined and, if it meets certain criteria, is deleted.
Problem is, deleting (or creating, for that matter) a database screws up
the DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator loop. There are two obvious solutions
to this:
1) Collect the IDs of the databases that should be deleted and delete
them after the DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator loop completes.
2) Restart the search loop every time a database is deleted.
Are there any more clever solutions to this? Fiddling with the
DmSearchState structure, perhaps? Or something else?
Regards,
Vesselin
