so I think that there is another concept to save some settings for an application...
or there is some built in function for ini files, but I don't know
should I refer always to these API functions, or there is another concept instead of ini file
Why VB.NET and VB2005 ignore ini files functions???
I usually use (in vb6) the API functions that manipulates ini files. but I feel that all new version of VB.NET and VB express 2005 ignore these functions and didn't include it as built in functions. in VB2005 there is more then 10000 new usefull functions, so why it ignore it while I find it very usefull

All of the configuration and settings are now stored inside xml configuration files "app.config", or custom solutions. Also included is a settings designer system that allows you to configure these settings and files.
Have a look in the documentation for Application configuration settings and you should be able to get the basic information to get you started.
Now... If you would like to use INI files there are several solutions around the net that people like yourself have put together. I would have a look at www.gotdotnet.com or www.planet-source-code.com for starters.
Here are some solutions:

The last one also re-creates the old functions.
