Rooted msgstore.db access

Could someone point me in the right direction please ! Looking to open the msgstore.db on a rooted device would like to find a code example to work with.

I know the main db is not in crypt format but somehow I'm not getting the path right. Normally I would just sploit it but I'm trying to do this the "Good guy way" even thou the device is rooted. I'm using Xamarin c# for Android but can convert Java if that's all someone can show me

/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db - is the path right ?

string dbPath = Path.Combine("/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/","msgstore.db");
        var db = new SQLiteConnection(dbPath);
        db.CreateTable<messages>();
