Getting user settings on a VB.net program

[kr80]

How does one get user settings like email address and Name to be used in a program. I have developed a application on Vb.net and i need to pass certain parameters to the program. Later on the user should be able to change if required.

Would you please rephrase the question? or I am not sure I know what you mean.
Do you want to use some datasources to save/store data in ... or just want to make it available durring app life?
Anyway please give us more info as we could help you a bit better.
Cheers

If I understand you question correctly, I suggest using a XML file.
Here is a link to a reusable Class that uses XML configuration files to persist user options (could also be used to save control states): Managing configuration settings persistence in .NET applications

Sorry for not making it very clear. I mean information which does not change when the application runs. By user information i mean, stuff that you tell a program during install time, like path the program should install to, your email address, Phone Number etc. Things might change later on, so it cannot be hard coded into the program during compile time. I am using these information to send periodic mails, or generate mails. The Application does not have a user interface.

Thanks,
Karl.

very unclear i must say ... but however you need a datasource like a XLM or any relational DB like Access ... Cheers
