Ok, another question; I have several classes:

Vehicle (base)
Motorbike (inherited)
Car (inherited)
Program (Handles the menu choices)
Execute (Hanlles input and list of Warehouses)
Warehouse (Contains a list of vehicles)

Once I enter an entry I want be able to save those entries to a file so I don't have to keep entering the same entries during error testing.

I've tried using StreamReader/Writer but as soon as I start without debugging, it crashes straight away and tells me the file is already in use.

I just want to know the syntax and where to put it so I don't have to constantly enter the same entries when i stop/close the program.

Thanks in advance.

A general rule of thumb I apply to is:

- Use app.config or create a config.xml (doesn't matter) for app settings (remembering filter choices, window sizes etc.) like this:

- Otherwise you use a database. SQLite is very easy to use.
