I am able to write to a .txt file in Windows Phone 7. I know I can read this file programmatically, but how will I be able to get this file to a PC? Where exactly is the file stored on the phone?
The SDK comes with the Isolated Storage Explorer tool which allows you to read and write files from Isolated Storage. Learn about it's usage at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh286408(v=vs.92).aspx
This assumes that you're wanting to do this with files you're creating for dev/testing purposes.
If you want to make an application which allows you to create files which users can access from teh PC you're out of luck. Instead you'd need to look at emailing the info from the file or distributing the file via the web.

I have seen many sync clients such as Dropbox that can create "virtual" files that do not really exist on disk. They have a size and you can open them in any program, but they are streamed e.g. from the Dropbox servers.
I don't know how this is called, and I can't find any information about this on the internet. Do I have to write a file system driver for that, or is it possible to do this for example with the Windows API?
Dropbox is a file hosting service. (From WiKi)
On Windows you can use OneDrive to store files on Cloud.
Please refer to "Create file to Onedrive programmatically from C#?" for an sample.

We have a Microsoft Windows server, we find all files changed to an extension .ETH file (Specially the AutoCAD files .dwg files).
As the following:
All files converted to .id-26E67253.[helpfilerestore#india.com].ETH.
Also, If I tried to connect any flash USB to the computer, all files inside the USB Drive hacked also.
I just need any suggestion, how can I get my old files, and how can I fix the virus or hacking?

I am using osxfuse to develop a network disk with our service on mac osx, when I open a office2011 file and save in my disk, it will appear this error as below:
"you cannot save while the file is in use by another process.try saving the file with a new name."
but it is fine for office 2016. I am confusing about this and do not know how to resolve it?
who can help you?
I am working on my own FUSE file system and also had this problem. I found that in my case it was because I mounted the file system with the "noapplexattr" option.
It looks like MS Word requires applexattr.
MS Office apps uses extended attributes a lot. So your fs should has support of xattrs at least via apple double files (._fileName)
Also i found that MS Word likes to use exchange operation while saving files.
But it also may be an issues in your read/write/move methods implementation.
When i have such doubts - i use loopbackFS example app and just compare how it works with my FS.
I have created my database in my windows phone app. Now i want to see whether it is created and stored data as i programmed it. But i am failed to view this database. Where my local database file get saved ? I like to mentioned that i have stored the database in the isolated storage. I heard about a method by using firefox extension i may be able to see the database but not sure what extension that is.
I've never heard about any Firefox extensions for browsing Isolated Storage on Windows Phone.
You can use Windows Phone Power Tools to copy your data file from the emulator or device to your desktop. If you're using Linq to Sql, you can open it in SQL Server Management Studio. Other data formats (i.e., Sqlite) can be opened in respective administration tools.
After Downloading Windows Phone power tools as mentioned by Michael, you can easily extract the database.
You may find difficulty in finding the exact file as the apps are listed by GUID and not their names in wp power tools.So you may have to go through each app to see which one contains the desired file.
Once you have located the file you will need a viewer (like this) to open the file.
This method worked for me just right.
I'm building a windows phone 7 application using silverlight 4. I store my data in Isolated storage as outlined here. The program runs with no errors. My question is where I can see the file I have saved? Is it possible to find the file in the windows phone 7 emulator?
The "Mango" SDK ships with the ISETool that can take and restore snapshots of an application's isolated storage to/from a local directory:
# Copy data from IS to directory
ISETool.exe ts xd <PRODUCT-ID> "C:\TempDirectory\IsolatedStore"
# Copy data from IS to directory
ISETool.exe rs xd <PRODUCT-ID> "C:\TempDirectory\IsolatedStore"
After some more googling, i found this post. It seems that "the emulator does not save its state when you close it."
Also:
Saving State. To test compatibility with other .Net framework environments I just re-implemented some standard Isolated Storage example code for application settings in my Silverlight application. It just works. But note, the preview emulator doesn’t hold state beyond debug sessions – so you can only test state storage in your application session at the moment.
from this post. (http://wotudo.net/blogs/wotudo/archive/2010/03/15/mix-building-a-windows-phone-7-series-silverlight-application.aspx)
The intent of isolated storage is for it to be only accessible by the application that wrote the data in that store. Isolated storage can not be shared across applications, hence being able to find the files you store in isolated storage through an explorer like experience isn't allowed.
If you need to access the files to observe the data in it, or to share it across applications, consider storing the file in a cloud service. Or if you need to look at the contents of that file for debug purposes, maybe add an option to write that file on your server.
I use this program to help me capture the data from the windows 7 phone emulator.
