I am working on a program with a tabbed interface, my problem is that I need a way to store the data in each tab so it will be the same as it was when the program was shut off. I would like to use a database, but Visual C# express 2010 is not the best with databases, I am thinking of using simple text files, but I think there is probably a better way to do it, any thoughts?
