I've done a bit more digging and it seems that app.config is mainly
intended for settings that are changed rarely, and the nature of the
settings I am using is that they will probably change each time the
application is run. Also if I'm being honest having found some code
snips that show how to use app.config I can't get them to compile.
System.Configuration.Configuration config =
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration
(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
config.AppSettings.Settings["oldPlace"].Value = "3";
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings");
gives the error
The type or namespace name 'Configuration ' does not exist in the
class or namespace 'System.Configuration' (are you missing an assembly
reference?)
I also get " the name 'ConfigurationManager' does not exist in the
current context"
I'm probably being thick, but what am I missing?
The other information suggests using "xmlserializer"
