Updated Silverlight FlickR demo for Beta2
I had a little time while traveling to South Africa so I thought I'd update my Silverlight FlickR demo to Beta2.

Overall, the changes were pretty minor, the most interesting one was a change in the way Isolated Storage is accessed.
I set up a page level variable called appsettings:
IsolatedStorageSettings appSettings = IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings;
Then, when the page is loaded, I initialized based on it.
public Page() {
InitializeComponent();
if (appSettings.Contains("searchTerm"))
{
this.searchTermTextBox.Text = (string)appSettings["searchTerm"];
}
if (appSettings.Contains("imageNumber"))
{
ImageNumber = (int)appSettings["imageNumber"];
}
}
Then, at the right time in the application flow, I save data to it
private void searchResultsImage_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
if (Photos == null) return;
if (ImageNumber >= Photos.Count()) ImageNumber = 0;
FlickRPhoto p = Photos.Skip(ImageNumber).First();
this.searchResultsImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri (p.ImageUrl));
appSettings["imageNumber"] = ImageNumber;
appSettings.Save();
ImageNumber++;
}
Notice, I also use Corrina's updated "Flat" style for SL beta2 as well, while the style structure changed a lot to take advantage of the new Visual State Manager, the changes to my code were minimal.
