   }

   {
      IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Add("SessionTicket", ticket);
   }

}

public static string Session_LoadSession()
{
   string ticket;
   if (IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.TryGetValue("SessionTicket", out ticket))
   {
      return ticket;
   }

   return null;
}
