An existing windows application(contain MS word add-in) with several controls has to be re-developed. previous application uses hundreds of ini files for storing data. Is it ok to use several ini files to store data? or should i create a database and store data there?
I don’t think .net supports ini files out the box, the new way to go is xml (config files)
This answer has few links to support inifiles: Reading/writing an INI file
If you need to upgrade a lot of versions in the field there is no reason not to continue with ini files. I personally don’t mind the format.
