store user data

[pei_world]

hi
I am new to C# programming. can anyone tell me what is the standard way to
store high sensitive user data for application, so that application next run
can get back those data.

I have found that the best way to store user data for a
Windows Forms application is in the UserAppDataPath
location.

Here's some information about it from the MSDN
Documentation:

Application.UserAppDataPath Property
Gets the path for the application data of a user.

[C#]
public static string UserAppDataPath {get;}

Property Value
The path for the application data of a user.

Remarks
If a path does not exist, one is created in the following
format:

Base Path\ CompanyName\ ProductName\ ProductVersion

Data stored in this path is part of user profile that is
enabled for roaming. A roaming user works on more than
one computer in a network. The user profile for a roaming
user is kept on a server on the network and is loaded
onto a system when the user logs on. For a user profile
to be considered for roaming, the operating system must
support roaming profiles and it must be enabled.

A typical Base Path, as identified in the path above, is
C:\Documents and Settings\ username\Application Data.

Good Luck,

Doug
