Simplest way to have a configuration file in a Windows Forms C# application
You want to use an App.Config. When you add a new item to a project there is something called Applications Configuration file. Add that. Then you add keys in the configuration/appsettings section Like: <configuration> <appSettings> <add key=”MyKey” value=”false”/> Access the members by doing System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[“MyKey”]; This works in .NET 2 and above.
