I wonder if Code Project features one or possibly two articles on that very argument...[^].

Solution 2

This isn't the most elegant solution, but...

C#

SettingsPropertyCollection props = Properties.Settings.Default.Properties;

string[] array = new string[props.Count];

int i = 0;
foreach (SettingsProperty prop in props)
{
    array[i++] = prop.DefaultValue.ToString();
}

:-)
