    You're not likely to get anyone to write you code with such vague ideas and no obvious sign that you've done anything to help yourself. If you want magic wands, join a Harry Potter forum!

    There's an XMLReader class, and for reading from INI files, there's an API that you can use for that; GetProfileString.
