title: Local file storage during development of a Windows Store App
body: <p>So I'm getting started in windows store apps.  It is also my first experience with Visual Studio.  Windows 8.1 for that matter, too :P</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to figure out how local file storage works during the dev phase of this project.  I understand the concept of how the appdata directory and the application install directory interact with the app once it is published and installed on a client's PC.  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/14299721/2253532">This</a> SO answer gives a good overview of how it is supposed to work.  However, I can't figure out how, during development, I am supposed to use these concepts if the app isn't installed and doesn't have a dedicated folder in any of the appdata directories.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is much appreciated! </p>
