How to: Enumerate Stores for Isolated Storage
You can enumerate all isolated stores for the current user using the IsolatedStorageFile static method GetEnumerator. GetEnumerator takes an IsolatedStorageScope value and returns an IsolatedStorageFile enumerator. User is the only IsolatedStorageScope value supported. To enumerate stores, you must have the IsolatedStorageFilePermission that specifies the IsolatedStorageContainment value AdministerIsolatedStorageByUser. When called with the IsolatedStorageScope value User, GetEnumerator returns an array of IsolatedStorageFiles that are defined for the current user.
EnumeratingStores Example
The following code example obtains a store isolated by user and assembly and creates a few files. The GetEnumerator method is called and the result is placed into an IEnumerator. The code then loops through the IEnumerator, adding up the sizes of the files, and reports the result to the console. The actual enumeration takes place in the private EnumerateTheStore method that is separated from the rest of the code at the bottom of the file for clarity.
