GetPrivateProfileString function

89 New Member
Is there a better way of accomplishing this ?: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724353.aspx

I have some program settings which should be easily editable by the user (really like in a text file), but dont want to use such an old function like GetPrivateProfileString..

maybe an XML file would be the best solution ?
thanks

vs2005 projects have a properties page that are used for just this.

You can have all kinds of things listed in there.
strings ,ints, colors whatever.
You can find it in your solution explorer.
You can define them as "user" or "application" types, where "user" types will check for different ones depending on the user (I believe)
