Question

Is it possible to store simple data in a windows form? Similar to a cookie to store a value to tell what the last scraped ID was. Will the data remain when the app is reloaded?

I already have a database and can use that if needed but was looking for a simpler storage solution.

Thanks

Answer 1

what I found was the easiest to store and use settings like that, was to create a serializable settings class; for example:

[Serializable()]
public class Settings()
{
    public object Something { get; set; }
}

and then, whenever you close your application, you can Serializable that class (meaning, save it as data somewhere)

And then on your application load event: deserializable the saved data, and you’ll have everything back the way is was, as the same kinda objects before you closed your application.
