Hi, this is my first time posting on the forums, also I am new to the .net language.
I am trying to create a properties file that contains data that my program will load in upon program launch.
For example: I have in my properties file the path to the location of another application that will be controlled through my program. This path will change from computer to computer so it needs to be in a file that the user can change for each system.
Also I would like to have in the properties files other variables that are computer specific.
so if I was writing internet explorer, it would be comparable to internet options where the user can put in their own Home page settings. etc...
What is the best way to go about doing this? Do I need to create all the reading and writing of the files to a particular file that I create? Or is there a library that I can call that has these functions build in?
Please let me know how I can go about solving this problem
Thanks for you help.
