SaveSetting/GetSetting Replacement

[Mike in Santa Rosa]

As an old vb6 programmer coming to C# I was wanting to update my technique
for storing app settings like for form controls state(radioButton, checkBox
selection) and user configurable settings. In vb6 I did this by using the
SaveSetting/GetSetting pairs to store & retrieve the key value pairs
into/from the registry.

What's a better or another way to do this with C#?

Thanks
Mike

C# doesn't have "built-in" functions the way VB does, so there isn't
really an equivalent.

If you want to read and write to the Registry, you use the
Microosft.Win32.RegistryKey class.

Or, if you really like the VB functions, you can reference
Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll and call them.

In addition there is an article on this very subject:

What about writing to an xml file like the old .ini files?

I don't necessarily need to put this into the registry.
