Hello,

At design time, one could easily define variables in setting tab (which could be accessed from Project -> properties... -> Settings) of program. What I need to know is, how to write to or read from the associated file (located at properties folder of program, in file "Settings.settings" or also called as "Settings-Designer" file) at runtime. Could you please help me through example?

Thanks a lot

Solution 2

You access the setting's properties through Properties.Settings.Default where they can be read or written to. If you change them and wish to persist for future, call Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

and make sure you set Scope to User and not application.
