Using C#, how to allow editing of strings from outside the application?

Question

I'm looking for a way to have an external file (resources, resx, assembly, config, xml, etc) editable by a user of my application.

These would mostly contains strings of text related to database field names and the like.

Preferably, something with an already existing free editor. I wouldn't mind doing an app for this if needed though.

Does someone know of a preferred way to achieve this in the .net world?

Update

I'm not looking to persist application settings.

Answer 1

Just use Application Settings (user scoped) for this, and use some large textbox or richTextEditor to edit the contents.

Answer 2

You can use User-scoped Application Settings to provide this type of information. You'd need to make an editor for this, if you want a GUI (usually this is just handled by a form in your app).
