Hey everyone, hopefully this will have a simple answer. Using VS2005/.NET
2.0 Application settings.

I have simple settings working fine, but I am trying to store more complex
types now.

For example a collection of city/state/country's

e.g.

los angeles, california, usa
boston, massachusets, usa
......

I would like store it in a xml format rather than CSV

i.e. in collection, get cities.city, cities.state, cities.country or similar

Is this easy or possible to do with the scope of 2.0 App settings? Which
type should be used (I tried xmldocument but it didn't like it)? Can data be
grabbed from an external xml file?

Or is this not a good idea in general for complex settings, and should the
be kept in a seperate xml file that's different that app settings?

Thanks, Ivan
