Storing Permanent Values

JUMPURS · 30 Sep 2009 at 08:46

Hiya,

I am writing a program in C sharp and i want to be able to store a value permanently. It is a value that increases everytime something is ran.
At the moment i have it looking to an external text file and just reading and changing that, but it isn't really ideal.

What else can i do?

Cheers

Is this a windows app or web app?

If windows, maybe using the registry would be better. If it's web, then use a database.

Windows App, don't really want it to be registry as that would mean it will only be on one PC.

I could try using an SQL table for it i guess.

Database. Text file.

Do you keep a log when the "something" is run? If so, maybe you can keep the log in a database table and the value can just be the autonumber?

Depends what the value is, really..
