Hi everyone,
Im writing a small app that needs to load and save external data. In the past Ive always used databases, but since this application is only going to be storing small amounts of data, and will be running on slower laptops so I need to keep the overhead
low, Ive decided to use xml to store the data. Im new to xml for data storage, so I was hoping to get an example of how to do this. All that I need is to store maybe 10 or 20 strings to load into a combo box or list box when that application starts. I also
need to write a utility to allow the user to modify this data and save it back to the xml file. I will be using either C# or VB.NET to develop in. There will be maybe 10 or 15 different combo boxes and/or list boxes that I need to store and retrieve data for.
Thanks for any help.
