If your data not very large, you can use XML files.

But if your data is important and you must secure it , you have to encrypt your data

Javad Khadivi is right.

If your classes aren't that complicated look up for XMLSerializer.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, if I use XML to store data, can I use SQL like command to retrieve and search data from XML Any library recommended

Thanks again.
