A simple class that stores settings in an XML file located anywhere. This class can be used directly as a visual component in VS. Use this as it is or as an inspiration for something better!
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

// General Information about an assembly is controlled through the following 
// set of attributes. Change these attribute values to modify the information
// associated with an assembly.
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("EasySettings")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("Persistent store application settings in XML file")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]

// Setting ComVisible to false makes the types in this assembly not visible 
// to COM components.  If you need to access a type in this assembly from 
// COM, set the ComVisible attribute to true on that type.
[assembly: ComVisible(false)]

// The following GUID is for the ID of the typelib if this project is exposed to COM
[assembly: Guid("529ff050-9292-4d73-9b4e-ccda283a0a32")]

// Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values:
//
//      Major Version
//      Minor Version 
//      Build Number
//      Revision
//
// You can specify all the values or you can default the Revision and Build Numbers 
// by using the '*' as shown below:
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]

I'm currently working at DeLaval International AB located in Tumba, Sweden. I work with a robot system called VMS that automatically milk cows. I mostly work on developing software to our built in Linux platform. Today .NET is partly used in our Management software that runs on a XP PC. We might dare to start develop some .NET applications using mono on Linux soon...
