I am working on a project to create a software to keep some data and then export it to pdf files. To do that, i am using sql database and windows winform app. Because of being new to such things, i am not sure to pick correct way.
In the software there are menüstrips and textboxes which enables users to enter some info. End of the data entry, i want to keep the template and save it with custom extension to open and work on it later.
For example, i want to save the program like ozz001.grwt. I want to keep the software with an extension like "grwt".
I use: SQL Server Winform .NetFrameWork
I searched in the web and youtube. What i found is to save with XML extension.
Also, i saw serialization. I am not sure is it correct way to follow due to being new.
