Best way to save "favorites" in an app
I have an app that is pulling data from an XML file (1100+ records) and I want people to be able to bookmark these items. These bookmarks will then appear on a listbox or gridview of their own elsewhere in the app. I have the JEDI library and I know a few of their persistance components might help but I'm not sure which would be best (if any).
Each item has a unique id number that will never change. Should I just make a list of the int IDs that people have selected, drop them into a file then read and write them as necessary? Is there a more elegant solution?

While eddies suggestion would be excellent for a static database, mine would be updated from a central source daily, thereby overwriting any favorite tags in it.
Thankyou folks.

If so, place a node in each marked node signifying that it needs to be shown. THis
way, you use the original data for your display as well.
