Answer 1

Hi
Maybe you could consider using the My.Settings to store the values.
Such as:

Make a My.Settings setting called: Loc as an Point type with any initial value (say) 0,0

In the application Form Closing event, use My.Settings.Loc = Me.Location, and
in the application Load event, Me.Location = My.Settings.Loc

Those settings would save the position of the Form when the application is closed, and restore the Form to the same position when the application is next run.

Answer 2

i know that
but
if i move the my exe from current location in the new location i lose my settings in the "my.settings" method

i check it now and ...

the APP.CONFIG NOT SAVED

USER.CONFIG working OK

my.settings.save method is saved my values in the USER.CONFIG

i want to store values in the app.config NOT USER.CONFIG
