I need to pass a large set of data from one page to another. I have two choices as far as I know, PhoneApplicationService and IsolatedStorageSettings.
PhoneApplicationService creates a lot of delay in when passed between pages. So, I used IsolatedStorageSettings but I am getting some abnormal object creation while removing an item from IsolatedStorageSettings.
which is the best to deal with large complex objects?
What is actually happening while removing items from IsolatedStorageSettings ?
Thanks
EDIT: When I clear or remove an item from IsolatedStorageSettings, new objects for already stored keys are created.
sample code:
if (IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Remove("FormFields"))
{
IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Add("FormFields", app.response);
}
else
{
IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Add("FormFields", app.response);
}
Why don't you just use the App class?
public partial class App : Application
{
public YourDataObject ApplicationDataObject { get; set; }
}
You could use it in any page, for example setting values before jumping to the next page:
(Application.Current as App).ApplicationDataObject = new YourDataObject();
And retrieving values once you are in the right page:
YourDataObject yourData = (Application.Current as App).ApplicationDataObject;
It is not beautiful but it is very simple and perhaps in your case it is the best solution.
