If I were you what I could do is create a class called Information or Contact and then have another class that is a collection of these contacts. The Contact class can have properties like first name, middle name, last name, phone numbers, e-mail, etc. When the user inputs this information it is then saved in the form and the contact is saved into the "AddressBook" or "ContactCollection." You need to allow the user to save these contacts so you may want to make the class serializeable and save an XML document that has all of the contact information. This is the way I would implement it.

As for reading information, just get the values from the form when the user inputs them and clicks a save button. If you need any more help let me know.
