RE: Saving user settings in winforms C#

Hi parez,

I agree with Jon, for this case are user settings the best solution.
The article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/user_settings.aspx
describes the pros.

Whats the best way of storing user settings and application settings
in a winforms application?

Should i create my own xml files and save it in
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolde r.ApplicationData)
?

What about the Settings class.? There were examples in vb.net which
lets a user save.

If it is readonly then why is there a save method?
