Hi!

Is it anyone that has any good experience that isolatedstorage can be to any
good use ?
Yes you can write example but in reality how much use do you really have
from them ?

Hi Tony see :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3ak841sy(VS.80).aspx (Introduction
to Isolated Storage).

It is usefull mostly for low privileged applciation that still need to store
some data locally. You'll see this for example for ClickOnce or Silverlight
application deployed from a web site.

Because something is there it doens't mean you'll have to use it... This is
just something that is good to know about just in case but you could perhaps
spent a whole developer lifetime without having ever to use a particular
feature, so not sure it's worth to ask, it's all depend on your needs.

Same answrer as the last time you asked about it,
Yes, I use isolated storage a lot for silverlight.
User settings for example.
 
We store data that rarely changes in IsolatedStorage, as a caching
mechanism. Our application checks to see if a newer version of the
data is available on the server, and if not, loads it locally. Saves
transferring a few hundred kb every login.

Be careful if your application is digitally signed. Isolated storage uses
the digital signature to create a unique directory for your isolated storage
which means that every time you renew your code signing certificate, you get
a new directory and basically lose any saved data.
