Hi Sean: That is indeed a good practice.
I didnt like clunking around with writing to those files so ended up using
serialization of a class.
That said, in a professional environment, corporate, you will most likely
use the config files. I use them extensively in asp.net apps.

Hi,
To answer the question:
The best practice in .net for storing configuration data is to use an
app.config if the setting is application wide, or a user.config if the
setting pertains to each user of the machine--bare in mind that whe
placement of the user specific settings files will vary on xp/vista though!
I use a screen reader/braille display to program and if I'm adding resources
(control strings etc) to an application I'll first write them in a text
editor in the format:
Name=value
And then convert them to the required format using the resgen tool. This way
I get a strongly typed class I can access from my application.
If you need any further help just ask.
Cheers and hope some of this helps.
Sean.

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.
