Question Store 2d array in my.settings

[Zexor]

What is the best my.settings type for storing a 2d array?

There's nothing for the specifically as far as I'm aware. I'd probably use a StringCollection where each item is a String consisting of the elements of one "row" of the array delimited with commas or whatever you find appropriate. The code to translate each way would be a few lines only.

if you want to store strings on your array, under "settings*" under "type" select browse' in new window select System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
its a 1dim string collection so you will have to do the calculations yourself

maybe someone else has got a better one...

Currently I am just converting the 2d array to a delimiting string and storing it in a string type my.settings.

That's probably just as good.
