The really easy was is to create a datatable with 4 columns, add a row,
store those values, and then use DataSet.WriteXML(@"Path:\File.xml"); You
can reference the values by myDataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][0] for the first
column [0][1] for the second etc.
You can just use myDataSet.ReadXML(@"Path:\File.xml") and reference just as
above
Another easy was is storing it iin the Config file.
http://www.knowdotnet.com/articles/configfiles.html which you can do very
easily and use DynamicProperties.
You can also make a class and specify it as serializable, use attributes for
each property and use Serialize Deserialize
Using ini files isn't 'bad' it's just old school and there are easier, more
OOP way like config files.

than using an ini file. suppose to be i want to read and write this
data:
