Question

I’m writing a webcam app and I need to write and read about 15 variables. I have two forms, the main window and the options window. When I save my options I do something like this:

string[] lines = {x , y, ..., z  };

System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(@"config.cfg", lines);

In my main window I read the variables using the StreamReader function:

public void Foo()
{

    List<string> lines = new List<string>();

    while (!reader.EndOfStream)
    {
        lines.Add(reader.ReadLine());

        reader.Close();
    }

    x = Convert.ToInt32(lines[0]);
    y = Covert.ToString(lines[1]);
    // and so on...
}

The problem is I don’t know how to access x and y in another method. Btw: I declared all my variables as public static. Can anyone please help?

Edit

It is a windows forms app, the two windows do not exist at the same time. Maybe someone can give me a hint how to store those variables using a different method? The only thing I know I could do is store the vars using a MySQL database, but doesn’t make much sense.

I’ll try to clarify: what I would like to do, is pass x and y from the method Foo to another method. I can’t use global variables, because reading the variables from the file requires a method.
