I have developed a C# form based application. It consists of a number of text boxes and a few radio buttons. If i want to create my own unique file type for this application (e.g – *.ct) how would i go about doing that? What I want to achieve is for the user to be able to go to file save – it will then save a *.ct file which will be the info they have entered into the text boxes and the radio buttons they have chosen. I would then like to have an option when they run the application – File -> Open and they could open the *.ct file and then that would fill the checkboxes and select the radio buttons they have chosen. if anyone can point me out any links to code where they have seen this done, etc or paste up any examples i can work from that would be a great help.

Thanks.

    I would suggest you rather save the file as XML, then when you read the xml file you can validate it’s schema to determine if the your application can read it.

    Xml Files is a standard when it comes to store information. This also allows your application to maybe at a future date communitcate between another application using a standard format. Which are xml files.
