Helper for working with settings in windows phone 7/8
I got tired of writing constant checks and whatnot to make my settings work.
So i wrote this simple helper to ease my work.
You need Json.NET from nuget to make this work.
It saves the settings in the internal storage settings area as a json objects,
here's sample usage :
SettingsHelper.SetOption("ColorToUse", Color.ToString())
SettingsHelper.GetOption<string>("ColorToUse")
Hope this saves you some headaches :)
public static class SettingsHelper
{
public static void SetOption<T>(string key, T value)
{
if (IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Count(x => x.Key == key) == 0)
{
IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Add(key, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value));
}
else
{
IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings[key] = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value);
}
IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Save();
}
public static T GetOption<T>(string key)
{
if (IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Count(x => x.Key == key) == 0)
{
return default(T);
}
else
{
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings[key].ToString());
}
}
}
