if you are using visual studio for Windows Form Application then you can create Settings to store your different type of values in it. You can write and read settings programmatically like this.

//To Write
Properties.Settings.Default.DatabaseName = textBox1.Text;
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

//To Read
textBox1.Text = Properties.Settings.Default.DatabaseName;

You can find article about User's Settings on MSDN
