Hi,
I'm a student and new to the .net framework. What is the best way to save
configuration properties (not user specific) for a C# application? I read a
few messages talking about using XML to save properties. I read about using
app.config, but it seems you have to manually edit the file in order to
change its values, and I don't want those values hard coded. I'm trying to
avoid the registry. In my reading I have concluded that using an XML file
would have more advantages over using the registry, .ini or .dat file.
In my application I have a few textboxes, and every time this application is
opened I would like it to remember what the last user wrote. How can I
implement this using XML? Are there any good and simple examples about
creating an XML document and then reading/writing to it in C#?
Thanks a lot,
J-S.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it. ...
