Saving GLOBAL Application settings

This tutorial is in response to a thread posted here.

The attached project has 2 forms with settings on each. The second form has a list to which you can add as many settings groups as you like.

The settings data is automatically serialised to settings.dat in the exe directory.

Try it for yourself:
Compile and run the program, change some settings, then close and restart the program. The changes will be retained!

UPDATE!!! COMBOBOX FIXED :D

If you find this useful why not gimme a rating? :)

This can also be used as a binary serialization example.

This rocks...

Yes. It's great.

I appreciate you taking the time to post this sample. I've learned a lot from it.

Thanks!

Thank you, :thumb:

I still think there are some cases where you may want to parse the whole forms ( or most of the relevant properties ). For example , I am trying to document the GUI by preserving its state . I dont know serialization with metadata and Reflection will do it or not.
