For desktop apps, isolated storage is a data storage mechanism that provides isolation and safety by defining standardized ways of associating code with saved data. Standardization provides other benefits as well.
Isolated storage is designed to prevent data corruption and access to application-specific data, while providing a standard data storage and retrieval system that's inaccessible to users, folders or applications. Isolated storage serves as a virtual file system managed by the . NET Common Language Runtime (CLR).
Isolated storage will give you a folder you can read from and write to without dealing with file and folder permissions. That's always nice. The thing is, though, accessing isolated storage isn't as easy as accessing a local folder.
That said, it depends on what you want to store. App_Data is for data files (database files, etc.). If that's what you need to store, then by all means, use it. If you need a space for temporary or slightly more permanent storage of a file, then look into isolated storage.
