Hi!

In C#.Net Windows application, I want to give a provision to the user to change the background of the Main form at runtime...

And of course it should also save the new background given by the user and upload it back when he opens the application next time.

My main form is an MDI parent.

Could you suggest me any technique for this?

Please :) Thanks :)

Solution 1

You are talking here about saving the user preferences, the color of the background is a preference, you need to store those information some where like an XML file for example or in the database.
