The ToolStripManager is a great way to save the position of toolbars on your WinForm apps. More info here. It works a little bit differently with ClickOnce applications, but it is an easy fix. Just set the key to a unique string. The key would probably have to be unique for the entire machine, but I'm not sure about that. The code looks like this:
void formValidateBatch_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
ToolStripManager.SaveSettings(this,"medicaidFormValidate3116789");
}
private void formValidateBatch_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToolStripManager.LoadSettings(this, "medicaidFormValidate3116789");
}
