Saving Settings

[Marco Roberto]

Hi,

does anybody what is the best format to save particular system settings
(ex: Default path to save files, etc) in .Net (XML, ini files, or registry)?

Best Regards,

Marco

Hi Marco,

If the user can change it, it is for me the registry.

If you want to set it, it is for me XML.

And for me it is never ini.

Just an opinion.

and as an addition the ugly easy way
if you use a database put a table in there (id personID setting value)
you would only use the person if you want different settings for multiple
users on 1 system

XML files, you can use this C# library for example for saving simple
settings:
