No IsolatedStorageSettings in WPF?

[rudigrobler]

Why is their no IsolatedStorageSettings in WPF? I have a application
framework that I want to use in WPF and Silverlight... the SL version
currently uses IsolatedStorageSettings but it is not available in WPF?

[Shawn Wildermuth]

Isolated storage is available in standard desktop .net:

oragefile.aspx

Yes, but not the *Settings version.

Generally speaking IsolatedStorage is more complex in WPF than in
Silverlight. This is again the famous story:

1) They implemented it in WPF
2) They implemented it in Silverlight
3) They saw that it was cumbersome and simplify it in Silverlight (the
*Settings class came only later to SL, it was not in the beta, IIRC)
4) This will flow back into WPF but not yet.

Cheers,
Laurent

Is in System.Io.IsolalatedStorage namespace...

I have to confirm what Laurent said...

I need the IsolatedStorageSettings (*Settings) which isn't available
yet? Will we have it someday?

Trying to remember what I heard. I *think* they said they want to flow it
back to WPF but I might be wrong (though it would be TERRIBLE if they
didn't, did I say already how much I want Silverlight to be a true subset of
WPF? ;))

Maybe Jaime can help.

[Laurent Bugnion, GalaSoft [MVP, MCP]]

Just asked the Silverlight insiders group about that. I might not be able to
post the reply on this group though (because of NDA).

I had a look at the IsolatedStorageSettings using reflector... its
pretty easy to create your own IsolatedStorageSettings! i cant believe
its not ported yet... its such a simple class!

[Peter O'Hanlon]

I think it might be to do with the missing IsolatedStorageFile functionality in mscorlib that's implemented in the Silverlight version of mscorlib.

Ok, I downloaded IsolatedStorageSettings.cs from moonlight (http://
anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/moon/class/System.Windows/
System.IO.IsolatedStorage/IsolatedStorageSettings.cs?view=log)

Only needed to make 3 or 4 changes and now it is working

Peter, IsolatedStorageFile is available... I think the only reason its
not implemented is because IsolatedStorageSettings internally uses
IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForSite() which isn;t available in
WPF! I just forced it to use
IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication()!

I know this is a edge case and not a lot of people will need this but
I am trying to use as much of the same code in WPF and SL!!!

[Peter O'Hanlon]

Good job, and yes the GetUserStoreForSite was the method I was referring to. Obviously, it's only present in the Silverlight version of mscorlib.

Hey Rudi,

I am sure it's just a timing problem. As I told you, IsolatedStorageSettings
was added to Silverlight quite late in the process. Cannot recall exactly
when, but after .NET 3.5 SP1.

Cheers,
Laurent

I'm looking at this now - it seems to be an easy enough port. Thanks for the link Rudi.
