Get and Set values in local resource file

Question

I have put 2 strings in the built-in resource file of my main project (not sure how I define this properly). How can I access these values? How would I change them? The resource is public so that the user can change them.

eg:

Project1.Resources.Get("string1").Value();

and

Project1.Resources.Set("string1") = "whatever";

This is pseudo code.

Resources are not intended to be changed at runtime. You should consider using user settings instead. For details, see Using Application Settings and User Settings on MSDN.

This will allow you to use the designer to build the settings, and write:

string string1 = Properties.Settings.Default.String1;

And:

Properties.Settings.Default.String1 = "whatever";
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
