Hi All,

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I don't remember what the
solution was...

I want to use XML-based '.config' files in my Windows Form app.
Unfortunately, the '.config' file for my app < myapp.exe.config > is
'read-only' (I can't write to it).

I understand why this is so, but I still want to have a '.config' file that
is 'read/write', so I can save my: form position & size, user-settings,
etc...

< The myapp.exe.config is 'read-only', right??? >

If so, what are my options, and how do I go about creating my own '.config'
file? What are the objects that I use to manipulate it (XMLReader,
XMLWriter)?

Steve,
The 'Configuration Management Application Block' allows you to save user
preferences to either the app.config or more appropriately something in the
users roaming profile. This 'something' can be an XML file or other file or
the Registry.

Hope this helps
Jay
