Save user entered data

[Guest]

I have a Win app in C#. I want to save the data the user enterere into
textboxes and the selections the user made to comboboxes when the user close
the app. So next time when the user launches the app, he can see the data he
entered before.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Write them to a file, and read the file and put the data back in the boxes
(or set SelectedItem to match was was saved) next time.

An easy way is to take advantage of the auto-generated Settings class
(under Properties in your project folder). Double-click it to define a
few settings of User scope for your controls and you'll be able to
access these settings in code using strongly typed properties on the
Settings class. Make sure to call the Save method on the Settings class
before you app exits to save the settings. Next time you launch the
app, the settings will be automatically loaded.

You can also access the ApplicationSettings property on both TextBox
and ComboBox to edit the same settings as mentioned above. You can
easily tie settings up with specific properties on the controls using
the second approach.
