Examples

This example creates and reads a composite setting named exampleCompositeSetting.

Call the Remove | remove method to delete the exampleCompositeSetting setting when you have finished with it.

var applicationData = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current;

var localSettings = applicationData.localSettings;

// Create a composite setting

var composite = new Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataCompositeValue();
composite["intVal"] = 1;
composite["strVal"] = "string";

localSettings.values["exampleCompositeSetting"] = composite;

// Read data from a composite setting

var composite = localSettings.values["exampleCompositeSetting"];

if (!composite)
{
    // No data
}
else
{
    // Access data in composite["intVal"] and composite["strVal"]
}

// Delete a composite setting

localSettings.values.remove("exampleCompositeSetting");

Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataContainer localSettings = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;

// Create a composite setting

Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataCompositeValue composite = new Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataCompositeValue();
composite["intVal"] = 1;
composite["strVal"] = "string";

localSettings.Values["exampleCompositeSetting"] = composite;

// Read data from a composite setting

Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataCompositeValue composite = 
   (Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataCompositeValue)localSettings.Values["exampleCompositeSetting"];

if (composite == null)
{
   // No data
}
else
{
   // Access data in composite["intVal"] and composite["strVal"]
}

// Delete a composite setting

localSettings.Values.Remove("exampleCompositeSetting");

Dim localSettings As Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataContainer = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings

' Create a composite setting

Dim composite As New Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataCompositeValue
composite("intVal") = 1
composite("strVal") = "string";

localSettings.Values("exampleCompositeSetting") = composite

' Read data from a composite setting

Dim composite As Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataCompositeValue = 
   CType(localSettings.Values("exampleCompositeSetting"), Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataCompositeValue)

If composite Is Nothing Then
   ' No data
Else
   ' Access data in composite("intVal") and composite("strVal")
End If

' Delete a composite setting

localSettings.Values.Remove("exampleCompositeSetting")

ApplicationDataContainer^ localSettings = ApplicationData::Current->LocalSettings;

// Create a composite setting

ApplicationDataCompositeValue^ composite = ref new ApplicationDataCompositeValue();
composite->Insert("intVal", dynamic_cast<PropertyValue^>(PropertyValue::CreateInt32(1)));
composite->Insert("strVal", dynamic_cast<PropertyValue^>(PropertyValue::CreateString("string")));

auto values = localSettings->Values;
values->Insert("exampleCompositeSetting", composite);

// Read data from a composite setting

ApplicationDataCompositeValue^ composite = 
   safe_cast<ApplicationDataCompositeValue^>(localSettings->Values->Lookup("exampleCompositeSetting"));

if (composite == nullptr)
{
   // No data
}
else
{
   int one = safe_cast<IPropertyValue^>(composite->Lookup("intVal"))->GetInt32();
   String^ hello = safe_cast<String^>(composite->Lookup("strVal"));
}

// Delete a composite setting

values->Remove("exampleCompositeSetting");

Remarks

A composite setting is serialized by inserting it into a settings map and deserialized by looking it up from the map.

Collection member lists

For JavaScript, ApplicationDataCompositeValue supports using an index to access items.

Parameters
key
TKey TKey TKey TKey

The object to use as the key of the element to add.
