title: Storing Feature Configuration within Sharepoint
body: <p>i have a Sharepoint feature that essentially extends Lists with a new feature, using a List receiver. For each list the feature is attached to, i need to store some configuration.</p>
  
  <p>Now, the first thing that came into my mind is the obvious solution: Have a global list. That works of course, but I wonder if there is some way to store feature-specific configuration in a hidden place? Not that it's sensitive information, but I don't want to clutter the Users Display with too many lists. I believe I can hide lists, but at the same time I wonder if sharepoint allows me to use it's database?</p>
  
  <p>I am not talking about just using ADO.net to access the db directly (which is a big no-no with Sharepoint), I am thinking about some officially supported mechanism.</p>
