10.2 .NET Isolated Storage

---

Isolated storage is a useful feature of .NET that allows a segregated area to be created for storing data for an application even if no file access has been allowed. This is useful, for example, when a managed control is downloaded from the Internet. The control can be given a very limited set of permissions, but is prevented from reading or writing files. This area is only available to the specific assembly for which it was created. Typical use for this area would be to save settings or state information that needs to be persisted to disk for later use.
