.NET - Click-Once / Smart Client Applications - Browser Cookie Equivalent?

Question

Is there an equivalent to browser cookies for Smart Client / Click Once application development on .NET 3.5? Some place I can store cookies on the user's machine rather than the server.

Or to put it another way - what file location can you write to from a sandboxed Click-Once app that won't violate good security practices. I don't want to take the app out of the sandbox and run with elevated privileges if I don't have to.

Answer 1

Have a look at isolated storage. Here's a specific blog post for ClickOnce apps.

Answer 2

Isolated storage. It's like the file system APIs, but more secure and maybe a bit more cumbersome to work with.

Answer 3

You could use Isolated Storage.

Answer 4

Better than cookies, you can use the Isolated Storage API to store files on the client machine.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Are you trying to store data? You can do that in Isolated Storage, although I find myself saving in the System.Environment.SpecialFolder.AppData a lot.
