How to make Settings.settings data persistent

settings

I have a Windows Forms application and I'm using the Settings.settings class to store user's configuration (email preferences, theme, etc) I didn't realize that after the user closes the app, the settings are gone!!

This app is about to be released to production, so I have to provide a solution ASAP.

Where are user settings saved?

User settings are saved in a file within a subfolder of the user's local hidden application data folder.

What are application settings?

Application settings enables developers to save state in their application using very little custom code, and is a replacement for dynamic properties in previous versions of the . NET Framework.

How do I change the default properties in C#?

To check your settings: Go to Solution Explorer > expand the Properties node of your project > double-click the . settings file. There you can create your own settings with User scope and edit it at runtime, if that is your intention.

You do have to save them after you set them. Have you tried:

Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
