Tim,
>Now I have a form that instantiates this class and accesses the fields just fine. But they are not written to the XML or retrieved from there. I need them to be persistent. I am obviously missing something.
Are you looking at the app.config file (which is only for design-time) or are you looking at the file in bin\Debug that is YourApplicationName.exe.config?
