Ok. First of I am creating an application which does a lot of communication with a database. Several databases actually, and what I would like to do is have a couple of lines in the registry which contains the IP of these databases.
Say,
key Production=10.10.10.10
key Report=10.10.10.11
key Distributing=10.10.10.12
How do I create these using the windows installer
How do I use this information in a connection from the program to a server
How can I change this if the IP changes of one of these servers
I don't know if this is the best solution, but I think the information is good to know stuff anyhow.
Different ideas are welcome, but I think this is the way I want to do it.

Example:
<applicationSettings>
<ClienteHC.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="ServidorIP" serializeAs="String">
<value>192.168.1.5</value>
</setting>
</ClienteHC.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
string srvIP = Properties.Settings.Default.ServidorIP

OK, so if I add a App.config to my solution, and ad this:
<configuration>
<appSetting>
<add key="ProductionServer" value="//10.10.10.10"/>
<add key="ReportServer" value="//10.10.10.11"/>
<add key="DistributionServer" value="//10.10.10.12"/>
</appSetting>
</configuration>
I see that this config file is in my final build where I can easily edit these. So that is good. Question now for me is how do I get ahold of this information from the program If I wanted to display it in a form for instance
