Automate using XML

Question

I am developing an Outlook add-in to filter e-mails in the inbox. Once the user enters the filter requirements, I need to apply the filter to every new email, when outlook is loading.

I have a specific form to let users enter words to search for in the body content of each email, then the emails are filtered in a data grid. What I want to do with XML is save those filter criteria words and the folder name to which they apply and automatically perform that task without getting any more information from the user. Is this possible with XML or do I need to use any other technique?

The title doesn't relate to the problem as far as I can see.Can you clarify what role the XML plays, and what you want to do with it please?

You need to ask a specific question. We won't write the code to do it for you. You need to tell us what you're stuck on.

Are you wondering how to store the filters? Are you wondering how to do the filtering? Are you wondering how to do this when a new message is received?

Be more specific and you'll get more responses.

I edited your question to make it more clear. Look at the changes I made and try to learn from them so you can phrase your next question more clearly.

Sounds like you just want to store some structured collections of data. Yes, you can do that with XML.

Can't you just store the XML file in some settings folder and then load it up again next time you need it?
