Shared Storage in .net windows forms application

Question

Is there something like shared storage in .net windows forms applications, What I want to do is to build a settings form, where each user can save his own settings on his machine, without the need to explicitly create external files and save the values in these files.

Thanks

Answer 1

Maybe Isolated storage suit your needs. Also you can think about registry.

Answer 2

you can use the "Settings" to do this - just choose "User" instead of "Application" - this way the properties will not be stored into the app.config but onto a nested directory in the users home-directory. You can load/save those settings on runtime too (unlike the app.config settings)
