.INI file usage in C#

[Darryl Borden]

Is there support for using .ini files in C#? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is there a substitute for this (I don't want to use the registry)? Thanks for your help! dpb Darryl Borden Principal IT Analyst darryl.borden@elpaso.com

Can you show me an example how to read\write data to a xml file?

[Karavaev Denis]

Try to use this code in your app. //////////////////////////////////////////////////// public class IniFile { public string path; [DllImport("kernel32")] private static extern long WritePrivateProfileString(string section,string key,string val,string filePath); [DllImport("kernel32")] private static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(string section,string key,string def,StringBuilder retVal,int size,string filePath); public IniFile(string INIPath) { path = INIPath; } public void IniWriteValue(string Section,string Key,string Value) { WritePrivateProfileString(Section,Key,Value,this.path); } public string IniReadValue(string Section,string Key) { StringBuilder temp = new StringBuilder(255); int i = GetPrivateProfileString(Section,Key,"",temp,255,this.path); return temp.ToString(); } } ===================== http://wasp.elcat.kg
