Silverlight: Isolated Storage
Overview
Silverlight isolated storage allows applications to store data locally on the client machine separate from the browser cache. The isolated
storage system provides easy access to both dictionary-style key/value pairs and also to files and folders within a virtual file system. This makes it
possible to store both simple settings and files. The size of data is limited by a per-domain quota to 1MB which can be increased by prompting the user for permission
using the IsolatedStorageFile.IncreaseQuotaTo() method.
Key/Value Pairs
Settings can be saved at either the application-level using the IsolatedStorageSettings object's ApplicationsSettings property
or at the domain-level with the SiteSettings property.

space.
