I need to save the location of the labels when the user closes, i think i need to make it serialisable or save something to an XML file but cannot figure out how to do it.

the Labels can be moved from one FlowLayoutPanel to another by the use of the if statement and then add/remove methods.

        }

        int shrewsbutyTotal;
        int donningtonTotal;
        int margin = 10;
        Point move;




        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
