i need to create isolated storage for my windows phone app, it is a business app that shows you all your business documents, and from there you can reject and accept the business documents, now what my problem is i have no idea where to start with isolate storage? i have been through google, but it does not make any sense, so if anyone can send me a link or tutorial it will be awesome, and how can i make the isolated storage in my app.xaml file so i can use it over and over again?
this is the link that gave me basic understanding , but it is all on buttonclick?
There is a pretty comprehensive example at the msdn page for isoloated storage file. If you need to double check some of the files that you've placed there, there is isolated storage explorer tool that comed with the sdk.
Have you tried IsoStoreSpy ? It supports both WP7 and WP8
It works well on my WP8 emulator, too
See here http://isostorespy.codeplex.com/
public static IsolatedStorageSettings appSetting = IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings;
if (appSetting.Keys.Count == 0)
appSetting.Add("key",value);
if (appSetting.Keys.Count > 0)
appSetting.Remove("TEACHER");
if (appSetting.Contains("key"))

Is it possible for an non-beta user of my app to send me their whole app directory for analysis purposes?
I know the way via the Xcode Organizer to download the whole app directory. But is this also possible for a end user to save/export a package of the app including all document files and send me this package via email?
The application directory and its contents are not end-user accessible without the use of a third-party tool such as PhoneView or iExplorer.
Yes. I am sure there are many cheaper ways to do this, but I find PhoneView really handy for browsing the device and copying complete app folders.
Another approach I suppose - easier for the user but tougher for you - is to implement file sharing so that the user can drag stuff from your app via iTunes. It depends on how much / what kind of data you need from the user how you would implement this.
I am dealing with mobile and desktop applications. I am trying to use Google Drive as a permanent storage folder. Unfortunately I am at a loss because I cannot find any examples. Can someone point me at an example of storing or retrieving a file from Google Drive?
I would really like to see a simple example in code or maybe a library which can handle this. I am stuck at Retrieve and Use OAuth 2.0 Credentials https://developers.google.com/drive/credentials
Did you look at the sample app on the drive API page?
edit
google moved the examples to github
I don't know if I figured out your problem. What I have understood is that you are looking for a way that makes you able to work on the same project from different computers.
If so, you simply have to download Drive. Once install it will ask you what folder you want to keep syncronized with Drive. If you select your workspace, it will be syncronized with Drive. So, on another pc, if you have installed Drive, you will be able to use the workspace folder too, with the same files.
I hope this is helpful.

You should look into Documents List API.
The Google Drive API & SDK are meant to be a mean to integrate applications into the Web-UI of Google Drive. To protect the security of the user's files, it puts some restrictions to the application developer, like:
The app has to be installed from the Chrome Web Store
The app can only access files created from the app itself,
or files selected by the user using the Google Picker UI.
All these restrictions make the Google Drive API not a good choice for most non-web applications.
E.g. installing the app from the Chrome Web Store is probably something you would find cumbersome to request from your users for a mobile or desktop application. Nonetheless, without being installed from the Chrome Web Store your application will always receive an error when accessing a file from Google Drive.
The Documents List API allows you to store and load files (not only Google Documents!) into Google Drive.
This question is a little bit old, still. You can look at this example: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/wiki/OAuth2
They do the OAuth2 for accessing task. But I just used the same code to access the files using the v2 API. http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/wiki/APIs#Drive_API
I only retrieved the file list, but it is working (from .NET, desktop app).
I would like to create an application for Windows Phone with Silverlight C#. This application needs to create a file (possibly editable only by the application who created it as in Android with the private mode). This file can be either on the SD card or, if it is possible, in the application package as in Android. The file must not be accessible by the user. I need to create also a file that the user may read so it would be better if I could put it on the SD card. Thanks!!!
Isolated storage is what you are looking for
I'm currently writing a mobile app (hopefully iOS or android) using the jquery mobile framework and phonegap.
It'll need to export/send csv files in some way to the users, but I'd be interested to hear ideas or suggestions about the best way of doing so. If this can be done on the js side of the app that'd be ideal as it's what I'm most familiar with. A couple of options I've considered are:
Uploading the file using the google docs api
Writing the file to the file system (then export e.g. via iTunes)
I'm new to this so any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks for your help
There are a few options that you could use depending on how you want it to work.
The main options would be to
Use the File API (http://docs.phonegap.com/phonegap_file_file.md.html#File) to store files on the filesystem of the device.
Upload the file to a server using a standard XMLHttpRequest.
Write a native PhoneGap plugin on each platform that you are interested in that could connect to Google docs.
As Dave pointed out you can write files with the FILE API. I have used the file api on iOs to write custom log files and havent found any yikes so far.
I am trying to create an application to print documents over the web. I have created my document, and made a web page with a meta refresh tag, along the lines of this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;http://example.com/download.epl2" />
I specify that the document has a content-type of application/x-epl2, and I have associated .epl2 files on my computer with a program that silently sends them to the printer.
I have put the website into my trusted sites zone.
Currently Internet Explorer pops up the "Open, Save, Cancel" dialog box with no option to automatically open the file.
Is there a setting in IE6/7/8 that I can use to have IE just open the file without prompting?
EDIT
The actual content of the file will differ based on the job, but essentially it is text that follows the Eltron Programming Language.
EDIT
I have accomplished this in both Chrome and Firefox by choosing "Automatically Open Files Of This Type From Now On"
EDIT
The machines this program will be used on will effectively be kiosks that are limited to only accessing my website from their web browsers, so I'm not worried about rogue websites sending documents to my printers.
EDIT
I am using PHP to generate the documents and HTML on the server side, though I expect the solution to be language agnostic.
I would expect that not to be possible, because then you could stumble onto a site that automatically loads and prints a 5000 page document or something, which would not be good.
If you always had a secret desire to develop a custom URL protocol (I know I do), this might be a good excuse to do it. ;-)

There are 1-2 prompts when opening such a link for the first time in IE, but you can choose to automatically open them after that.
I would use javascript to make this happen.
Javascript Window Open
EDIT
Since you have control of the windows box you could use an automate script process to interact with the print window.
autoit3: ControlClick
Write a small utility program that does nothing but send the file passed to it on the command-line to the default system printer.
Then, edit the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to associate this program with the .epl2 filetype.
I don't have time to investigate it for You, but there were lots of exploits that could be helpful. Using ie6 without certain fixes seems helpful.
Also there should be an option called "Automatic prompting for file downloads". I use Linux nowadays so I can't chceck if it helps. I found it in some docs.
I'm on a Mac at the moment, but if this is possible in IE I would imagine this page holds the answer to it (or at least hints at it) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883255
I believe what you're looking for is a setting in Windows, not IE:
Microsoft Support: Not Prompted to Specify Download Folder for File
Try using an older version of IE. Security was looser in the older versions and since it's a non-issue, this could be the quickest solution.
