The way of creating a settings / config form?

[kimiraikkonen]

Hello,
I want to implement a settings form to my project which consists of
some strings and simple codes thus the users will be allowed to have
their custom settings/profiles.

How can i make settings form in VB.NET and store/recall them?

Thanks...

Heya Mate,

With .Net 2.0 its A WHOLE LOT EASIER!!! All the settings are now in 1 place
and can be changed at run time easier...

Hi,
Is it applicable under VB.NET 2005 "express" edition?

However, something different came to my mind here it is:

Create a simple text file using streamwriter then store the strings
there,
Then use streamreader and associate which control must read from
streamreader (text file)

Done!

Yes it will work with the express editions no problem...

Kimi,

The build in is based on a config.xml file, a little bit more consistent
then your text file. Beside that is the registry very easy to handle in
VB.Net.

Absolutely true, but i just showed another option for simple text
values.
However, which one do you prefer more? Registry access or XML file?

thank you
