I'm Building a web browser using VB.Net, whats the best method of data storage for such things as history?

Also homepage, what method should i employ to store that information, seperate history by day, and store each 1 as a dat file, or store in a txt file using the split command to sort them??

R3dm0

Update:

Thanks frank, i should elaborate, at the moment, i have a history method, where all input from the U.R.L textbox, and point and click links on the browser are stored in a string, using streamwriter to pass it into a text file, and then when i'm reading from it, i was using arrayname.split to split the string, but i was havin problems with the date reconition. B.T.W this isn't a school project or anything, i'm hoping to sell this someday!!

    I'd define a "history" class with the info I needed for a single entry, instantiate and store them in memory with an ArrayList, and serialize the list in/out from/to a .txt file.

    If you are interested in this it would be a good time to check out my Q on perchlorate and the polymerized oxidizer page you just answered rudely. I apologize for butting in on an irrelevant question. But since you have given me good answers in the past... please read add'l. details.

    I know perfectly well that I don't want to handle ethyne (class I) let alone perchlorate.

    But I would dearly like to be able to, safely.

    Also I have a personal rule about making explosives; NEVER!

    You never know who they might hurt, and for more than one reason.
