P:Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.LocalSettings |
winrt property |
Gets the application settings container in the local app data store.
The application settings container.
For both LocalSettings and RoamingSettings, the name of each setting can be 255 characters in length at most. Each setting can be up to 8K bytes in size and each composite setting can be up to 64K bytes in size.
The Windows Runtime data types are supported for app settings.
Use the LocalSettings property to get the settings in an ApplicationDataContainer object. Use the ApplicationDataContainer.Values property to access the settings in the localSettings
container. This example creates and reads a setting named exampleSetting
.
Call the ApplicationDataContainerSettings.Remove method to delete the exampleSetting
setting when you have finished with it.
Note that to access the RoamingSettings, use the same process outlined in the example, except change the occurrences of localSettings
to roamingSettings
var localSettings = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
// Create a simple setting.
localSettings.Values["exampleSetting"] = "Hello Windows";
// Read data from a simple setting.
Object value = localSettings.Values["exampleSetting"];
if (value == null)
{
// No data.
}
else
{
// Access data in value.
}
// Delete a simple setting.
localSettings.Values.Remove("exampleSetting");
Windows::Storage::ApplicationDataContainer localSettings{
Windows::Storage::ApplicationData::Current().LocalSettings() };
// Create a simple setting.
auto values{ localSettings.Values() };
values.Insert(L"exampleSetting", Windows::Foundation::PropertyValue::CreateString(L"Hello Windows"));
// Read data from a simple setting.
winrt::hstring value{ winrt::unbox_value<winrt::hstring>(values.Lookup(L"exampleSetting")) };
// Access data in value.
// Delete a simple setting.
