Thank God you ported it UWP. I always had question "why would Microsoft release a application platform without DB support?". Until I learned there a thing call Jet and then there is something called ManagedESENT with API complicated as hell! ObjectDB recently did a UWP release too and made life somewhat easier. I one can write a simple Key/Value store on top of ESENT.
Quick start demo essentially implements simple int->string dictionary (plus a full text index for that values).
DictionaryDemo is slightly more complex, it implements string->ValueType dictionary, where values are stored in binary XML format using data contract serializer.

[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 20.2 ms ] threadMS-provided ESENT API is too low-level, and its documentation is too low-level as well, making the DB engine relatively hard to use.
Hopefully, I was able to fix that.
As a starting point, here’s a quick start demo project: https://github.com/Const-me/EsentSerialize/tree/master/Demos...
