Thanks for the response. I guess what I am asking for is someone to help me with the code or to point me in the right direction to a demo or article that may help me as I am still learning. What I am looking for is way to store/cache systems names into a dropdown list as they are entered by the user so that they can be retrieved the next time the user runs the application. Like for example the Microsoft Remote Desktop client or the address bar in Internet Explorer. For a little more information: The application does not get installed but instead is just an .exe that the user can run so I cannot use a database. What I was thinking of using was an .XML file created and stored in the users AppData\Roaming folder. Every time the user enters a name in the hostname field and then presses an action button the application would check the .XML file to see if the name already exists and if not add it and update the dropdown in the ComboBox. If an .XML file or a ComboBox is not the correct way of doing this please let me know.
