I am trying to find the best solution in order to pull data (read only) from an external file as data values/names.
For example, I want to have status types in a file: CUPE = 2, ONA = 4, NonUnion = 6, NoBenefit = 8, NotSet = -1, ( as an example) and not in a table in the DB. And have the application read from the DB and pull the value and then populate the correct NAME for the fied - hope this is clear.
I don't want to create a DataType table and have these stored there simply because I am going to have several of these. Can someone point me in the right direction whether its an XML file, CS file, txt file etc - HELP.
