Hi
We're newish to visual studio .net.
I wanted to store some user defined variables. Normally I'd have written
these to the registry but my colleague informed me that Microsoft was trying
to dissuade users away from the registry and towards configuration files.
So I had a look at the
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings object he told me
about.
Can this file be written on the fly? The only info Ive found about these
seems to point to some poor little sod having to create the files manually
using XML before they can be read by your application.
Can anyone advise me on the best direction to go and if there are any
classes I should be using for future compatibility.
thanks
