IsolatedStorageSettings missing assembly

Question

I'm trying to save some settings related data on my Windows Forms application using IsolatedStorageSettings. But as soon as I create an instance of that class, I have an error saying that IsolatedStorageSettings does not exists on the namespace. This is my code :

using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows;
using System.IO.IsolatedStorage;

namespace HangedGame
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    string word;
    string foundWord;
    int count;
    private System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageSettings appSettings =
        IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings;
}
}

What is wrong whit it?

in winform applications you cannot use isolatedstorage, isolated stroage can be use in windows phone or windows metro style applications. You can easily store your data in memory in a winform app, or xml or any sql server — AOZ, Nov 16 '13 at 16:37
@AOZ I come actually from a Mac development background so I'm not that familiar with c# or winforms. What would be the equivalent of NSUserSettings in c#? — user26830, Nov 16 '13 at 16:50
NSUserSettings ~= IsolatedStorage :) in windows phone and metro style apps. But i guess you have to use a xml or database to keep users data. You should search using db (ado.net) or entity framework. It is very simple to use a db in .Net — AOZ, Nov 16 '13 at 16:56

Try this,

Creating a Folder and File under IsolatedStorage

using (IsolatedStorageFile storage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetStore((IsolatedStorageScope.Domain | IsolatedStorageScope.Assembly | IsolatedStorageScope.User), null, null))
{
    storage.CreateDirectory(@"SampleStorageFolder");
    storage.CreateFile(@"SampleStorageFolder\ReadMe.txt");
}

Reading File created under IsolatedStorage

using (IsolatedStorageFile storage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetStore((IsolatedStorageScope.Domain | IsolatedStorageScope.Assembly | IsolatedStorageScope.User), null, null))
{
   using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(storage.OpenFile("ReadMe.txt", FileMode.Open)))
    {
       string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
    }
}
