You do not need to create/read/write anything! All you need to do is use the class, the ini file will create itself, update itself, and read itself on command.

Allows you to create and use ini setting files for configuration.

Example Usage;

 INIFile Temp = new INIFile("C:\\Test.ini");
Temp["width"] = 10; 
  

That will automatically create the ini, and update the ini data, readable at next program entrance.
