readin xml from vb.net

[GrenadeFX]

i have looked around for ages for an answer to this question and i cant get a specific answer im looking for.

 

so here is my question:

i have an application right and want user to be able to log into it and i need a way to store username and password ip and few other settings. I dont know what is the best way to do so but id guess xml is one of them. i am not really worried about security that much atm i just want to get authentication working.

 

sample xml

 

<username ="User">

<password>password</password>

<ip>127.0.0.1</ip>

<laslog>whenever</lstlog>

</username>

 

i also want to select specific user from the file and get their details

 

if anyone could help id be really appreciative

 

cheers

Depending on your needs .Net offers several ways to read / write XML.

 

You may want to investigate the classes under System.XML as a starting point.
