Thanks Alex,
C# and .NET is rather new to me so if anyone would help me with an example I
would be very glad. What I actually need is to write and read some
configuration settings in a file. I would therefore appreciate an example of
how to read and write this class from and to a config file:
public class Config
{
string Var1 = "default"; // default value of Var1
int Var2 = 6; // default value of Var1
}
Could the method be implemented inside the class itself, like having a
method e.g. called: SaveConfig and LoadConfig ??
Thanks
Ole
