GetUserStoreForAssembly Method
.NET Framework Class Library
IsolatedStorageFile..::.GetUserStoreForAssembly Method

Obtains user-scoped isolated storage corresponding to the calling code's assembly identity.

Namespace:  System.IO.IsolatedStorage
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function GetUserStoreForAssembly As IsolatedStorageFile
C#
public static IsolatedStorageFile GetUserStoreForAssembly()
Visual C++
public:
static IsolatedStorageFile^ GetUserStoreForAssembly()
F#
static member GetUserStoreForAssembly : unit -> IsolatedStorageFile 

Return Value

Type: System.IO.IsolatedStorage..::.IsolatedStorageFile
An IsolatedStorageFile object corresponding to the isolated storage scope based on the calling code's assembly identity.
ExceptionCondition
SecurityException

Sufficient isolated storage permissions have not been granted.

IsolatedStorageException

An isolated storage location cannot be initialized.

-or-

The permissions for the calling assembly cannot be determined.

The same assembly within different applications always uses the same isolated store when using this method.

GetUserStoreForAssembly is functionally equivalent to the following code:

Visual Basic
isoFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetStore(IsolatedStorageScope.Assembly Or _
    IsolatedStorageScope.User, Nothing, Nothing)
C#
isoFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetStore(IsolatedStorageScope.Assembly |
    IsolatedStorageScope.User, null, null);
Visual C++
isoFile = IsolatedStorageFile::GetStore(IsolatedStorageScope::Assembly |
    IsolatedStorageScope::User, (Type^)nullptr, (Type^)nullptr);
NoteNote

Different assemblies running within the same application domain always have distinct isolated stores.
