Storing custom event messages in sql table

[robjens]

Hi I have a small question. I'm building a website and I would like to make custom message strings that I can later put in a sql database. Is the following idea the correct way to go?

File: SystemMessages.vb

Select Case EventID

Case 100
msg = "New user" & username & "added to the database."

Case 101
msg = "User " & username & "has been deleted."

End Select

I'm guessing in the end I will have about 50 messages. I used to take this approach in VBA but since Im new to VB.NET I'm not sure if this is the right approach. I'm thinking it's an option to store the strings in a XML file but I have no idea how to go about. Please advice!

Thanks :)
