How to store a list of objects in application settings

Question

I have recently became familiar with C# application settings, and it seems cool.
I was searching for a way to store a list of custom objects, but I couldn\'t find a way!

Answer 1

Application configuration is not the good choice for storing the data at application runtime. For this use any available in .NET serialization option like

• Xml Serialization
• Binary serialization with proto-buf
• Json serialization
• ORM mapping to some embedde database Sqlite

and many others...
