Hi Kevin: I am pretty much totally blind now. I can sometimes make out light
and dark changes on the screen but cant really read anything.
I rely on the WindowEyes Screen Reader for most everything but have tried
other options a little over the past few years.
As for user settings I usually serialize them.
That just means that I create a class with some properties and then
serialize that class to a xml file and then when the application is loaded
DeSerialize the xml file and load the settings that way.
That is one of the simplest methods and you can save, serialize, the
settings as xml or even as binary files.
This is just for application user settings. For User settings where you
would be in an environment like the internet or a distributed environment
you might use a DataBase to hold the sUser Settings and that is how most
LogIn internet or IntraNet settings are managed.
The process I use is to create a class with either class level public
properties or variables.
Then when the application is started, usually in the Load Method of the
opening window, I Read the saved Serialized file and set the variables.
When the Opening window is closed, triggers the end of the application in a
Windows Forms Application,I move the user settings into the variables and
save, serialize, the file (class) to a folder where I keep data for my
project.
I will go get the code and post it up. It is vb.net but as such it is pretty
readable and the methods for serialization and deserialization should be the
same since they are .net classes.

Subject: Re: Question: Window-Eyes and .NET.
Thank you Rick! In fact, admittedly, I do happen to have a question:
How do you particularly deal with designing user settings? What tools
do you use? I found that I actually need to store user data and saveit
to disk; I found ways to do it, but I'm wondering how other .NET
programmers like you deal with this.
Do you use Visual Studio? Do you need a screen reader to program or
are you able to see the screen yourself?

Hi Kevin:
That sounds like a really excellent project.
I am pretty good with .net programming, vb.net in particular since I hate
curly braces, so if you need some help just post up any questions or
problems and I will see if I can help out with an answer or 2.
