Is there a convenient way to set default values for ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings using a settings file?

I'm using the built in settings infrastructure in my Windows Phone 8.1 application to store my settings key-value pairs. For instance: 

ApplicationDataContainer settings = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
object value = settings.Values["DailyReminderOnOff"];

I'm trying to find a way to supply default values that come canned with the app at installation. Is there some recommended and convenient way of doing that?

I could implement my own system by placing a dirty bit and reading from a file if it's unset or provide defaults through if-null checks within the getter; but I'd rather avoid the hassle of writing and maintaining that code if the system provides something I've missed.

Thanks!

There is no default way to get the value. Why don't you use simple fallback like this:

const string DefaultValue1 = "value123";
object value = settings.Values["DailyReminderOnOff"] ?? DefaultValue1;
