How to use isolated storage API in Windows 8 Application

While working on Windows 8 Application, I was under impression, is that we can use the Isolated storage API as it is like Windows Phone 7, but we can’t in Windows 8, Windows 8 introduce new API that is Windows.Storage. Storage API allows us to save data in Application level data. This is very simple and useful code snippet here.

  1: public void SaveInfo(string key, string value)
  2: {
  3:     if (Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values.ContainsKey(key))
  4:     {
  5:         if (Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values[key].ToString() != null)
  6:         {
  7:             // do update
  8:             Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values[key] = value;
  9:         }
 10:     }
 11:     else
 12:     {
 13:         // do create key and save value, first time only.
 14: 
 15:         Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.CreateContainer(key, ApplicationDataCreateDisposition.Always);
 16: 
 17:         if (Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values[key] == null)
 18:         {
 19:             Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values[key] = value;
 20:         }
 21:     }
 22: }

Cheer!!

Happy coding… :)
