Problem in PropertyStore when reading UseShellBackButton about template10 HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi GuillaumeGrillonLabelle!

For all I know the settings stored within your apps folder(s) - c:/Users/..../AppData/.. . There are different types of persistent settings. while "local" means "only on the current computer" another possibility is "roaming" what means "sharing and syncing across different devices".

For a hint on where to find the actual files, you might debug the following property:

Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder

Line 45 in property store is within a try {} catch-all block and would return the default value in case of
an exception. So I am not yet sure how you could get an exception ... do you have further information about this (sample code, further Infos, what is 'null')?

from template10.

Now that I am re-reading your question, I wonder if you are asking where the initial value is before the user selects a custom value. In the case of the shell back button it is the default value set /Services/SettingsService/SettingsService.cs line 29. The default is true.

So that this type of investigation is easier for you next time, I recommend placing your cursor on the UseShellBackButton reference in app.xaml.cs and using F12 to navigate to the definition. This will take you to the definition. If you want to put your default settings somewhere else, you might review this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19994632/what-is-the-equivalent-of-an-app-config-in-a-winrt-app
