Question

Using VB.Net, how can I save values from a textbox and checkbox when the application is closed? When the user opens the application again, the textbox and checkbox should be filled in with the same values as before.

Do I have to save these values in a database, or what other options are there?

Answer 1

The easiest way to store these settings is to use the My.Settings object.

Here’s the documentation:
