Check existence settings to load

[Pawel]

Is it possible to check if there are any settings to load for gridView before actual loading this settings? For example:

 

PersistenceManager.SetStorageId(gridView, storageId);

// how to check if there is some settings to load before actual loading settings happen?

_isoProvider.LoadFromStorage(storageId);

Hello Pawel,

It is possible to check if there are any settings to load using FileExists(). In order to achieve this you should add a custom IsolatedStorageProvider which inherits IsolatedStorageProvider. In addition if you need to check the properties further, you can access the IsolatedStorageFileStream and write a custom logic: 

public class CustomIsolatedStorageProvider : IsolatedStorageProvider
{
    private static readonly string fileExtension = ".bin";

    public bool IsFileExist(string storageId)
    {
        var store = this.GetIsolatedStoreOverride();
        bool isExist = store.FileExists(storageId);

        //additional search
        if (!store.FileExists(storageId + CustomIsolatedStorageProvider.fileExtension))
            return isExist;
        using (IsolatedStorageFileStream fs = store.OpenFile(storageId + CustomIsolatedStorageProvider.fileExtension, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
        {
            // custom logic
        }

        return isExist;
    }

Unfortunately, at the moment there is a bug and GetIsolatedStoreOverride returns a wrong Isolated storage. You can track the progress of this issue in our Feedback portal.

Thank you for your understanding.
