My C# application is a Windows Service. I have two problems that I
would like to solve in the correct way using C#.NET.
1) There are a number of user settings which I'd like to store in an
XML file. I read these settings each time the service does some work,
then close the file. Should I use the Configuration class to read
this file from my service code?
2) I'd like to give the users a control panel application to change
the settings in a GUI. Well, not an old unmanaged .cpl, but whatever
we're "supposed to" be using now in .NET applications. Is there some
new psuedo-cpl hosting container in .NET that takes the place of what
Control Panel did? If not, how are people providing GUIs for their
users to change service settings?
TIA, Grok
