Re: WPF: beginner question ... remember values in textbox

Hi,

You could bind your TextBox's Text property to a .NET object's
property. This property's get and set accessors would in turn deal
with your AppSettings.

Something like:

<TextBox DataContext=myConfigurationObject Text="{Binding
Path=MyProperty}"/>
(Actually, I'd set DataContext higher up so that multiple TextBoxes
can use it without explicitely specifying DataContext over and over
again)
