Using System to write to a file

[4getit]

I am writing a function for a Windows application that takes a few arguments. I then want to take the values of these arguments and write them to a file on the users machine using the System class to access the users datapath. I then want to read that file the next time the app is launched and pass the values in the file to a database server side and store the values. Does anyone know the correct syntax for accessing the users application datapath and the best way going about accomplishing this task?

Personally I would use the ConfigurationManager class to store the information in the App config file. What it sounds like you really want is application specific data persistence which is exactly what the App config file is for.

FYI: Nearly all of the file I/O routines are in the System.IO namespace, not the System namespace.
