I got tired of writing constant checks and whatnot to make my settings work.
So i wrote this simple helper to ease my work.
You need Json.NET from nuget to make this work.
It saves the settings in the internal storage settings area as a json objects,
here’s sample usage :
SettingsHelper.SetOption("ColorToUse", Color.ToString()); SettingsHelper.GetOption("ColorToUse");
Hope this saves you some headaches 🙂
public static class SettingsHelper { public static void SetOption<T>(string key, T value) { if (IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Count(x => x.Key == key) == 0) { IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Add(key, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value)); } else { IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings[key] = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value); } IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Save(); } public static T GetOption<T>(string key) { if (IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Count(x => x.Key == key) == 0) { return default(T); } else { return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings[key].ToString()); } } }
