I'm new to the programming world, now I'm trying to figure out how I can use this app.config to save the settings.

Could any of you show me a simple, functional example?
Like a checkbox and a button, when you checkbox the button is disabled and save this setting in the configuration file.

What I have tried:

I'm not sure what you try to achieve ...
All Settings which are done with/to the Controls in your Application during Designtime are saved/stored inside the Designer-Files.
If you have some Settings which are done during Runtime - this means something like Parameters - you have to build your own Parameter-File where those Settings are saved/stored. This Parameter you have to load with the Start of your Application and to save perhaps when changes are done ...

I want when I mark a checkbox, save this information in an xml configuration file, when to execute the application, it reads the xml and the checkbox already appears checked, understand?

Of course ... I understand and that is exactly what I have written - you name it 'configuration-file' - I name it 'parameter-file'.
So ... to help you - at which point (exactly) do you stuck ?

I understand
I need a simple and functional example of a parameter file for a form, with key and value creation, reading, deleting and updating, can be in XML or TXT.
Can you help me?

Please, check out OriginalGriff[^]'s tips:

1. Save and restore your form size and location[^]

The easiest place to save this is in the Application config file

2. Where should I store my data?[^]

Windows has a number of places that are free for data storage and which will not cause "Access Denied" exceptions when you try to write to them - unfortunately, the default directory is not one of them.
