What's the Best way to do this?

I've had a few ideas, but they've all failed miserably.

I want a user to input values in 1 tab, then the program some how stores these values and outputs them in another tab. They have to be stored somehow so that I can call on them after I close and open the application again.

No textbox1.text= textbox2.text

 

You can use application settings, which are rather easy. Otherwise, you could store the settings in a file, but that requires a small amount more effort.

Info on Application Settings can be found on MSDN, as with almost any other thing to do with .Net coding: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k4s6c3a0.aspx

 

You can also use the registry to save your settings then load them in the second tab.

Code:

GetSetting()
SaveSetting()

Returns as a string ofc.

 

Use of the registry is rather stupid for such a small application, and also very annoying when you can just store the settings in the same directory anyway. I HATE when apps become broken because they can't find the right reg keys.
