Password

hi

i want my app to remember one (and only one) user password that he wont need to enter it every time he runs the app. (like when i want to get my email, the app knows automatically what's my password)
i dont want to use a temporary file to save his password in it.
what's the best way to do it?

Write the password to the property bag, then read the password property on form load.

You could write to the registry using SaveSetting and then retrieve it using the GetSetting function

i didn't understand what property bag is
and how do i use it

I think you have to create a password object before you can make use of a property bag.

Storing in the registry might be sufficient, it will put the password in HKEY_CURRENT_USER so NT will save it on the network for you, hence it will also work when you login on a different workstation. You need to encrypt your password before writing it to the registry and decrypt it after reading, but that goes without saying.
