I am in the midst of rewritting a VB 6 desktop application to vb.net
desktop. It has a whole series of hard coded values that I would like to
store in an ini file for easier future modification. It seems that ini
files are not in favor anymore and xml are the files of choice now. Can
someone give me a heads up on how I read and write to an xml file in vb.net?
Are there any "rules/standardization/suggestions" I should try to adhere to?
This is a personal application and is not for client or public use.

Thanks,
Greg
