Tip screen at startup that can be disabled.

Question

I am planning on creating a tip page that pops up with directions on how to use the app, and can be turned off with a checkbox. I imagine that in order to save the state of the checkbox's selection, I need top store it as a boolean somewhere on the system. Would this be done in something like a txt file stored locally using IsolatedStorage? Or is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

Hi Pete,

You can do it in a text file via isolated storage like you say, or alternatively use Isolated Storage Settings for this this purpose. Further detail here.

Answer 2

It is recommended that you use IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings to persist application wide settings. Have a look at this article for an introduction and a sample.
