As far as I can tell, the answer is no, and that's by design.  Of
course, on your own machine, you could do it by monitoring the actual
file that represents the IsolatedStorage, but that's not going to help
in any real world scenario.

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] FileSystemWatcher vs IsolatedStorage

Ok, am I missing something, or is completely impossible to use
FileSystemWatcher on an IsolatedStorage directory?

FileSystemWatcher wants to know the path to what it should it be
watching... fair enough.  But the designers of IsolatedStorage seem to
have went out of their way to *not* expose the true path of the backing
store.  Also fair.

But gee, I'd really like to be able to monitor a file in my isolated
storage for changes (say, by other instances of my app).

Any hints?

Cheers,
-Shawn
