Using Isolated Storage on Windows Phone
On a Windows Phone application, or actually in any application, you will sometimes want to keep information around from one session to another. On a Windows Phone it is sometimes especially important as it is a little difficult to type on these small devices. If you need the user to login, fill in their name and email, or enter other information each time they use the application, then you might want to store that data on the phone and retrieve it each time they come back in to the application.

You can take advantage of this extra room by switching between two different XAML templates when the phone orientation changes.
