Config File Question

Yoshi,

You could, but you would have to use the classes in the System.Xml
namespace to do it. Also, any changes you make would not be visible until
the next time your application starts up.

Hope this helps.

Hello Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP],

Not to mention it would require you to have write permissions to the program files directory. Which a lot of people really don't like. You are better off writing your settings to the users profile. I have been using XMLSerializer class to serialize/deserialize objects to XML and writing them to the user's profile.
