Best way to store values in .Net Compact Framework using C#?

Question

I have a WinForm application and I have many forms in my application .

These forms have some properties which I want to save when the form is closed and when i again load

the forms, I want to populate form properties.

I know some techniques like XmlSerialization or I can write my own xml files to store values.

But I want expert advice to do this in the best way on Compact framework .

What you all expert think could be the best way to store and retrieve data ?

Answer 1

SqlLite或类似的怎么样？

Answer 2

I'd use the existing serialisation mechanisms rather than rolling your own. If small disk footprint is important, use the binary serializer, if human readability is important use the XML one.

Answer 3

Perhaps you could use .ini files? Smaller than .xml since its just text, but less of it.
