How to store variables in C# exe file?

[sbscb]

I want to store dynamic variables in a exe file (C#), that I can access [mostly just strings] to read or write. I was using the Application Settings class but it apparently saves the files in Application Data but I want my exe to take the values from the form and write them to itself or store them inside the executable file so that when I send the file to someone else it will have the preferences stored without having to do anything. If this is not possible is there any way of making a C# builder application that will ask for variables and then create a new exe file with the variables pre-stored? Thanks :)

You're much better off keeping those values in a seperate file. You cannot write to an .EXE file that is still running. Not to mention the problems with finding the values in the binary file and CAREFULLY writing the news back so you don't screw up anything around it.
