I have a List<class> of data. And I want to save it and retrieve it every time my app starts and exits respectively. What is the equivalent of IsolatedStorage (WP7) in Windows 8. How can I save these settings?


In windows 8, you have to use the LocalFolder for your app, which you can access using:

StorageFolder folder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;

and then reference files saved there by using:

var fileToGet = await folder.GetFileAsync("nameOfFile.fileType");

I am currently in a similar situation in a project I am working on, where I want to store a List of custom objects to my Apps LocalFolder and have it reloaded later.

My solution was to serialize the list to an XML string, and store this in the App Folder. You should be able to adapt my methods:

static public string SerializeListToXml(List<CustomObject> List)
    {
        try
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlIzer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<CustomObject>));
            var writer = new StringWriter();
            xmlIzer.Serialize(writer, List);
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(writer.ToString());
            return writer.ToString();
        }

        catch (Exception exc)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(exc);
            return String.Empty;
        }

Now that you have the string you can save it a text file and put this in LocalStorage:

//assuming you already have a list with data called myList
await Windows.Storage.FileIO.WriteTextAsync("xmlFile.txt", SerializeListToXml(myList));

Now when you load your app again you can use the loading method mentioned above to get the xmlFile from LocalStorage, and then deserialize it to get your List back.

string listAsXml = await Windows.Storage.FileIO.ReadTextAsync(xmlFile.txt);
List<CustomObject> deserializedList = DeserializeXmlToList(listAsXml);

Again, adapt this to your needs:

public static List<CustomObject> DeserializeXmlToList(string listAsXml)
    {
        try
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlIzer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<CustomObject>));
            XmlReader xmlRead = XmlReader.Create(listAsXml);
            List<CustomObject> myList = new List<CustomObject>();
            myList = (xmlIzer.Deserialize(xmlRead)) as List<CustomObject>;
            return myList;
        }

        catch (Exception exc)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(exc);
            List<CustomObject> emptyList = new List<CustomObject>();
            return emptyList;
        }
    }

在 Windows 8 中,您必须LocalFolder为您的应用程序使用 ,您可以使用以下方式访问:

StorageFolder folder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;

然后使用以下方法引用保存在那里的文件:

var fileToGet = await folder.GetFileAsync("nameOfFile.fileType");

我目前在我正在处理的项目中处于类似情况,我想将自定义对象列表存储到我的 Apps LocalFolder 并稍后重新加载。

我的解决方案是将列表序列化为 XML 字符串,并将其存储在 App 文件夹中。你应该能够适应我的方法:

static public string SerializeListToXml(List<CustomObject> List)
    {
        try
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlIzer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<CustomObject>));
            var writer = new StringWriter();
            xmlIzer.Serialize(writer, List);
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(writer.ToString());
            return writer.ToString();
        }

        catch (Exception exc)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(exc);
            return String.Empty;
        }

现在您有了字符串,您可以将其保存为文本文件并将其放入 LocalStorage:

//assuming you already have a list with data called myList
await Windows.Storage.FileIO.WriteTextAsync("xmlFile.txt", SerializeListToXml(myList));

现在,当您再次加载您的应用程序时,您可以使用上面提到的加载方法从 LocalStorage 获取 xmlFile,然后对其进行反序列化以获取您的 List。

string listAsXml = await Windows.Storage.FileIO.ReadTextAsync(xmlFile.txt);
List<CustomObject> deserializedList = DeserializeXmlToList(listAsXml);

同样,根据您的需要进行调整:

public static List<CustomObject> DeserializeXmlToList(string listAsXml)
    {
        try
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlIzer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<CustomObject>));
            XmlReader xmlRead = XmlReader.Create(listAsXml);
            List<CustomObject> myList = new List<CustomObject>();
            myList = (xmlIzer.Deserialize(xmlRead)) as List<CustomObject>;
            return myList;
        }

        catch (Exception exc)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(exc);
            List<CustomObject> emptyList = new List<CustomObject>();
            return emptyList;
        }
    }

You can use this class to store and load settings:

public static class ApplicationSettings
{
    public static void SetSetting<T>(string key, T value, bool roaming = true)
    {
        var settings = roaming ? ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings : ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
        settings.Values[key] = value;
    }

    public static T GetSetting<T>(string key, bool roaming = true)
    {
        return GetSetting(key, default(T), roaming);
    }

    public static T GetSetting<T>(string key, T defaultValue, bool roaming = true)
    {
        var settings = roaming ? ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings : ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
        return settings.Values.ContainsKey(key) &&
               settings.Values[key] is T ?
               (T)settings.Values[key] : defaultValue;
    }

    public static bool HasSetting<T>(string key, bool roaming = true)
    {
        var settings = roaming ? ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings : ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
        return settings.Values.ContainsKey(key) && settings.Values[key] is T;
    }

    public static bool RemoveSetting(string key, bool roaming = true)
    {
        var settings = roaming ? ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings : ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
        if (settings.Values.ContainsKey(key))
            return settings.Values.Remove(key);
        return false;
    }
}

But you can only save and load primitive types (bool, int, string, etc.). This is why you have to serialize your list to XML or another format which can be stored in a string. To serialize and deserialize an object to and from XML you can use these methods:

public static string Serialize(object obj)
{
    using (var sw = new StringWriter()) 
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
        serializer.Serialize(sw, obj);
        return sw.ToString();
    }
}

public static T Deserialize<T>(string xml)
{
    using (var sw = new StringReader(xml))
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        return (T)serializer.Deserialize(sw);
    }
}
