Hi,
I'm trying to create dynamic default values in TextBoxes
that reflect the last user's input value.

How can I save the user's input in a textbox control so
that the user can see his last input in the textbox the
next time he runs the application?

I'm trying to avoid saving the user's inputs on a text
file, because it can be read and modified easily from
outside my application.

Hi Amjad,

The user part of the registry is very simple reachable now from VB.net, just
take a look at that registry in/on msdn

I hope this helps a little bit?

in addition
if your app uses a db store them there
or you could use encryption on a textfile

As Cor wrote, you can also write it to the registry, but that doesn't
prevent the user from reading/changing the settings. You'd have to encrypt
the values no matter where you store them.
