Question

Not really done this before so I wanted a few pointers.

In my app, users are able to pick a folder that the application looks in when it is started to pick up some input files.

What is the best way to save this information between sessions.

the old fashion way I would have done in the past would be to have a config.ini file and read and write to that the path. However I am sure there are better ways now.

I don’t want to have to write to the registary as I want a app that can be installed and uninstalled simple by copying a folder or deleating the folder.

Is there any way to save configuration settings that the uesr can update and remian constant between sessions?

Cheers

Answer 1

AFAIK, the way is done now, is by writing these values to the Application.Settings file; however, that’s not too different than writing to any XML file and reading it on startup. Either alternative is almost equally simple.
