I got a Structure that handles all the Data for my DB Connections like, type
of database, usernames, servers,etc and i was wondering what was the best
approach to save that data.
What is the better approach of the 2 followings:
1- Use serialization and just reload the object every time the application
reloads.
2- Use a class to access INI files , write all the propertys there and then
encrypt the file.
Thanks.

Take a look at the .Config files. they are written in XML so you can port
them over to other OS's and they are easy to edit and manipulate

why to encrypt the password? because the file is handling username and pass
for the DB...
but again my question is.... Serialize the Structure that contains all this
data, or get it into a INI or XML file and save it??
i was thinking that serializing the object will be faster.. but i wasn't
sure
Thanks.

I would encrypt the data before writing it to the file.

If you want to save "user preferences", you can use a XML files. You fill
find a libarary for saving/reading settings here (implemented in C#): http://www.palmbytes.de/content/dotn...optionslib.htm
