When's a Good Time to record Size Info in a Form

[MCRoberts]

Greetings:
This question is related to a question that I posted a few minutes ago but I am trying to adhere to the one-question-per-post policy.

I am trying to save program settings in an XML file, like directories and the position and size of the main program form. This is working fairly well. However, I am currently using the Resize event as the event where I should update the XML file with the new form size information. Its working OK but it bothers me a bit that this event is called repeatedly as the form is being resized. This means that the XML is being opened, updated and closed 100's of times in a few seconds while the form is being resized.

Is there not an event notification that I can use to tell when the mouse has been dropped and the resize/drag operation is complete and use this as the time to update the form coordinates?

I have read the documentation for the other event SizeChanged and I have even tried it but I cannot see what the difference is between these two events.

Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance,
Mark

Why would you want to save the current size to a file at any other time than program exit?

Hi. Dispose(bool) is the place you should record your settings, as it is the method called to distroy your form object.

Thanks, everybody. Its seems to be unanimous that the settings should be recorded when the form is being closed.
