[RESOLVED] Save data??????

[nbmprivat]

Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I have a coding problem.

I'm developing a program that starts some installationfiles. In the settings form I want the user to be able to edit the path of the installfiles. What's the right way to make the app dynamic?

1. Don't know if xml is an option in VB Express 2005? If so, how?
2. Tried to add a database to the app but it doesn't even recognize sql server 2005. Must be a config problem but don't know how to correct it.
3. Or maybe as simple as saving the info in a txt file?

Thanks in advance...

You could simply let the user choose the path and store that path
in a resource file.

The user could either edit the resource file without the need for the code to
be re-compiled or your program could save the changes in the resource file.

I'd rather have a edit option form i the app. As easy as possible for the user. It must be dynamic in that sense! U know, like everyday programs we use and can edit some options within the app.

You can use application settings. Create a setting in the Settings tab of the Project properties and then access it via My.Settings.

If you are so kind, can you further explain how to do that. Never heard of creating a "setting" object. Maybe a link to how this works? Would really appreciate it.
