I've been literally googling for an hour now trying to find how to save variable settings to a file.I'm writing an application and I'm using alot of changeable variables. I want to be able to save these to a file so they can be loaded at application startup. I don't feel like using the regestry since I hate to write unimportant things to the registry.I remembered that I found a good example with simple code of how to do this with xml, but I can't seem to find the example now.
I am looking for a way to save and load the values of all my controls present in my form.My form has around 100 controls spread over 7 tabs. The controls include (Multiline) TextBoxes (Strings), NumericUpDowns (Integers, Decimals) and Checkboxes (Booleans). If the user clicks the save button a "Save File" dialog should appear allowing the user to specify the directory and the filename of the save file.All the values of the controls should then be written to that file.If the user clicks the load button an "Open File" should appear where the user can pick a previously saved save file. All the controls should then adopt the values found in the save file.I have implemented Application Settings in my form, and now when I click save, it saves the control values through My.Settings.Save(). If I click load it loads them.However, my project requires that multiple save files can be made to reflect multiple configurations. As I understand Application Settings only allow for a single .config file in the Application Data folder.So how can I code a save/load routine to save/load different configurations?
I have multiple controls on my form. Text boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, etc. Is there a way to move through every control on the form and save it's value, status ? Like whether the radio button is checked, or not. The value of the text box, and save them all to a text file. Then, reload the values saved in the text file in the same sequence. Without doing all this one line at a time.
1.I want my program to get the drive letter (like c:,d:) on form load and save that to a variable.What should i do to get the drive letter? 2.I want my application to fire this command (shutdown -s -p) on button click.

lets say I have a form (form1) with lables a-z which are all designed with default text "0". So they all show 0 on program startup. which is fine. I also have a dialog with 2 TextBoxes; I want my program to update the default text/value on (only)form1 labels x, y and z to whatever was put into the textboxes when i press the OK button on the Dialog, so these specified labels show the 'new' value on next startup. Is it even possible or should I save the values to a file which loads the values in the specified labels on startup?

I want my app to load a .exe file specified by the user, crypt it then save the crypted .exe file on a path also specified by the user. I need some guidance on this. First of all, I am currently using IO.filestream to store the .exe file. When I save the completed file (so far in development, that means a copy of the file as I haven't added encryption yet) the .exe file appear there alright, but without the icon (it has the standard/no icon instead) and it does not work. I tried outputting it to a .txt for examination and it was a bunch of tokens as one would expect. Here is the statements:

What the icon file filter is for load/save file dialogs. (I know the jpeg one is "JPEG Files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|PNG Files (*.png)|*.png|BMP Files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|All files (*.*)|*.*" But as far as I know you can't use these as icons without an icon editor).
