Windows universal app isolated storage - How to save and retrieve data? - windows

Question

I have this isolated storage helper and I need to use it to save and retrieve data from my universal app.
I don't know where to begin from. Should I maybe make an app and incorporate the helper class into it?
Here is my class:
using System.IO;
//using System.IO.IsolatedStorage;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
using System.Text;
public static class IsolatedStorageHelper
{
public static T GetObject<T>(string key)
{
var localSettings = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
if (localSettings.Values.ContainsKey(key))
{
string serializedObject = localSettings.Values[key].ToString();
return Deserialize<T>(serializedObject);
}
return default(T);
}
public static void SaveObject<T>(string key, T objectToSave)
{
var localSettings = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
string serializedObject = Serialize(objectToSave);
localSettings.Values[key] = serializedObject;
}
public static void DeleteObject(string key)
{
var localSettings = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
localSettings.Values.Remove(key);
}
private static string Serialize(object objectToSerialize)
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(objectToSerialize.GetType());
serializer.WriteObject(ms, objectToSerialize);
ms.Position = 0;
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(ms))
{
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
private static T Deserialize<T>(string jsonString)
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(jsonString)))
{
DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
return (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms);
}
}
}

use static SaveObject method and supply the 'person' entity and a key. Retrieve it later using GetObject.
But I think in this scenario you should use database sqlite and sqlite net package to save the entity.
