Silverlight Isolated Storage using only Javascript API

Question

I did some online research and it seems like Isolated Storage is only accessible with managed Silverlight code. Just to confirm that I didn't miss anything, is there a way to access Isolated Storage in Silverlight using only unmanaged Javascript API?

Answer 1

You can call Silverlight methods from javascript and vice versa as described here:

So you should be able to return something from your Silverlight apps isolated storage.

Answer 2

You pretty much answered your own question before you asked it, but for the sake of affirmation:

IsolatedStorage cannot be directly accessed with Javascript, only with managed code

Is your aversion to using managed code do to a restriction imposed on you, or because you don't want to (or don't know how to) write managed code?

If it's the latter, check out BakedGoods. Its a Javascript library that establishes a uniform interface that can be used to conduct common storage operations in all native, and some non-native storage facilities, including IsolatedStorage (which it accesses via complementary managed code).

With it, placing data in IsolatedStorage can be accomplished with code as simple as:

bakedGoods.set({
    data: [{key: "key", value: "value"}],
    storageTypes: ["silverlight"],
    complete: function(byStorageTypeRemovedItemKeysObj, byStorageTypeErrorObj){/*code*/}
});

Retrieving and removing data is just as easy. Trust me on all of this, I would know; i'm its maintainer :) .
