Is Isolated storage mainly to protect files and information from managed
applications only? If my applications wants to protect files, I have my own
enc/dec for files.. Is that the best way?

Just confirming ...
Thanks

IMHO the main advantage of IsolatedStorage is that it's accessible even
if your application doesn't have access to the File System. This is
especially useful for XBAP applications, for example.

I thought this was forum to learn and teach, how every dumb the question
maybe. I never excepted a IMHO from a MVP, very sorry to say that.

I will presume that you mean "expected", and that your post replies to
my own reply to your original question (which wasn't dumb at all by the
way).

The reason why I used "IMHO" (it means "In My Humble Opinion") is that
IsolatedStorage fulfils more than one feature. I don't think that "to
protect files" is the main advantage of IsolatedStorage. The main one in
my opinion (here we go again) is to avoid roundtrips when the
application runs in a sandbox, which is typically the case for XBAPs.
Others may disagree with that ("main advantage" is not a, exact value,
it really depends on what you want to do), so I moderated my answer
using IMHO.

The article I provided you, though a bit old, gives a very good insight
in IsolatedStorage.

Sorry if I offended you in any way. Being a MVP doesn't mean being an
authority on all things, and like you I am still learning every day.
Sometimes I prefer to moderate my replies using "IMHO" to indicate that
this is my opinion only, and that others may think otherwise.

Greetings,
Laurent

Whay people can't just say: "Thanks for your help!" ???
Good post, by the way ;)

Thanks! It's really nice to read.

Actually, rather than "Thanks for your help", and since obviously mine
wasn't the answer that the poster expected, I'd have preferred if a
constructive discussion had been started... Maybe next time ;-)
