TextBox1.Text = variable that you read in from your ini

Everything you will need is given in the sample code download in the article I gave you.

You should avoid using INI files at all if it's within your power. .NET apps have inbuilt support for XML config files. The simplest way to use one is to add values on the Settings tab of the project properties and then access them via My.Settings in code. You simply read and write like any other properties. All the loading and saving is done for you.

I don't know what you mean...

Where can i found a tutorial about it..?

in your IDE, click Project-->Properties-->Settings tab

there you can add a new my.settings property.

to use it:

my.settings.newPropertyName = "aString" ' or any value, set datatype accordingly
my.settings.save

then in your form_load event:

textbox1.text = my.settings.newPropertyName
