Isolated Storage Space in Internet Permission Set

Exactly what is the size limit of Isolated Storage in the Internet
permission set?

I have a document indicating it is 10MB
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...tSmartClients/)

There is another document indicating it is 10240 in size
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/cpguide/ht
ml/cpcondefaultsec uritypolicy.asp )

After running a test to create a directory and an empty file in Isolated
Storate under the Internet permission set, I have found the current size to
be 2048 (sample code at the bottom of this message). This would indicate
that the size is 10Kb in size.

Are my findings correct? If so, is there a way to increase the Isolated
Storage quota under the Internet permissions?

Thanks,
Jody

Jody -
yes, it is 10240 bytes for Internet by default. You can actually see it if
you look at the Internet named permission set in the security policy in the
".NET Framework Configuration" tool (from the control panel) or by running
"caspol -l" in the command line.
You can change that by creating a new permission set (or modifying the
existing Internet permission set), changing the quota value in the
IsolatedStorage FilePermission there and assigning it to the code group
corresponding to the Inernet zone. This can be done using the tools
mentioned above.

Hey Group, After a long week end I am back again. Its nice and refreshing after a short vacation so lets get started with .NET once again. Today we will discuss about Isolated Storage. This is one of the topics which I find interesting as I feel that it has a lot of practical usage or applicability. We all know that all applications need some storage space to archive certain

Hello, My client needs to collect data on a disconnected computer. I am hoping I could store data in Isolated Storage as XML files and expose later to a server (does anyone have experience with Isolated Storage)? The solution I am looking for would be to have a connection string or url in the config file and a button the user could push that would automatically transfer files to server. The big caveat here is that I

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
