[Mono-devel-list] Java Properties or other way to store configuration

[Rafael Teixeira]

Mainly Configuration Files are readonly from the program perspective.
For mutable settings, serializing (in binary or xml format) your
settings to IsolatedStorage, is the .NET/Mono portable way. See
classes System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorage and
System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageFile.

In the GTK#/Gnome# world using GConf as someone else has pointed is better.

At the other end of the spectrum, the WinForms world, we have 
System.Windows.Forms.Application class that has some shorthands to
paths that can be used like IsolatedStorage to have some
configurations shared by users and others being exclusive to each
user.

Hope it helps,
