Question

I have a WP7 application which downloads some files from a server. Now I am saving these files to isolated storage. Is there any option to save these files in a location other than Isolated Storage. No problem for accessing these files from outside the application.The reason is that I need to open these files and show them to the user.

Is there any option to store outside Isolated Storage? If yes, how?

Answer 1

These are the ways you have to persist information in Windows Phone:

• Save to a file in Isolated Storage (with the IsolatedStorageFile)
• Save in the Application Settings (with the IsolatedStorageSettings)
• Save to a database (that will be in turn saved in Isolated Storage)
• Send the info to some Internet webservice/remote storage
• If it is a picture file, you can save it to the Pictures Library (with the MediaLibrary – sample)

There is no other access to storage in Windows Phone right now!
