Question

I was thinking either:

1. An Appconfig file

2. A generic .XML file and have the program load values at launch.

What is the best way to do this? A website with a best user tutorial perhaps?

Answer 1

Please see Using Settings in C#:

The .NET Framework 2.0 allows you to
create and access values that are
persisted between application
execution sessions. These values are
called settings. Settings can
represent user preferences, or
valuable information the application
needs to use. For example, you might
create a series of settings that store
user preferences for the color scheme
of an application. Or you might store
the connection string that specifies a
database that your application uses.
Settings allow you to both persist
information that is critical to the
application outside of the code, and
to create profiles that store the
preferences of individual users.
