    Saving my user editted variables?

    I must have over a hundred string variables in my program, and the user can edit each of them to customize it to say what he/she wants. However, the changed variables don't save after the program is exited and I want them to. How do i do this?

    Do I save them to the registry? to a file?

    I haven't really thought much of this "minor" detail until now, but i'm quite worried. i'm afraid i may be a little too late in addressing this issue.

    Thanks, Brad

    The registry is discouraged in .NET. However, I read something about configuration files, though I haven't used them yet. Apparently there are some objects to help create these. The files are XML.

    Alternatively, you could use a text file.

    It is in C#, but it is what you want. I did the registry one, then another person reworked my code to save to an XML file. This will propably work for you with some modifications.
