Solution 1

Don't use the app.config file for this. You would need the current user name associated with the login information in the database, then when your app starts up you can retrieve the information based on the user name

Writing a sample project is left as exercise for you.

Solution 3

you can use Settings object of .Net
you can add your own setting object by adding new item or you can directly add in your Project Properties's Settings tab

which can able to store data as database without any query or XML syntax

Settings are stored in the app.config file and are still not the appropriate place for such information

Mark I know app.config is not a suitable place
But questioner asking
"can you show the way of writing to xml file app.config"
thats why I suggestion Settings object
