I am making an application where I think the best way to store the state of the application is to have Key and Value pairs.
I am unsure whether to save this data in the FILE within isolated storage OR to save it as an App Setting as that is already set-up to be key value pairs.
What is the best way to go about this?
For simple key-value pair data use the
IsolatedStorageSettings. For complex data you should consider other means.You could wrap the usage of
IsolatedStorageSettingsin a way that the values aren’t read from the file each time, but cached when read for the first time. You might also want to make it thread-safe if you, for example, want to access the settings also from a background agent.
