Saving settings

[MDA]

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out the best way to save settings in my small app. I have the following settings I need to save:
1. Connection info (Ex: The last server name used, was it trusted authentication or user name, if so what was the user name last used.

2. In my listView which is connected to a SQL table, which items were checked the last time the app was opened.

3. Various other info...


In the past I have used the registry to save connection info but I think a file would be better for all this info??

What is "best practices" for this? If a file is best, how would I add all this info?? What about using an XML file?

Thanks for any ideas!

Best regards,
M

I would create a dataset and those are easy to save as xml or retrieve the information.

Dim ds As DataSet
ds.ReadXml("filename")
ds.WriteXml("filename")
