Question

Im trying to start with at least what i think is a easy task, i want a Windows application (c# maybe).
To read a setup.ini text file from Windows and show some of the settings in the application.
After this i would like to edit some settings eg port and server and be able to save the settings entered.
Is this something doable as a firt application or is it more complex than i think?

Is the ini-file your are trying to read from the application it self or a ini-file of something else ?

Answer 2

Thank you for the help, the ini-file is not for the application itself but for another application. See this application for something like a specified setup application for a specified ini file.

Answer 3

Great. Then you can use the method I have described.

Keep asking, keep coding.
