A Silverlight application can securely store data isolated per-application, per-user on the local machine - here we look at how that works.

You can also use the XmlSerializer (from System.Xml.Serialization) to save ur data in a XML file:
// Save method:
            using (var file = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())            {                var xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<Rect>));                using (IsolatedStorageFileStream stream = file.CreateFile("rects.xml"))                {                    xs.Serialize(stream, list);                    stream.Close();                }            }
And reading is easy to:
// Load method:
            using (var file = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())            {                // NOTE: you should check if file exist..                var xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<Rect>));
                using (IsolatedStorageFileStream stream = file.OpenFile(FILENAME, FileMode.Open))                {                    list = (List<Rect>) xs.Deserialize(stream);                    stream.Close();                }
            }
