Default How to use Settings.Settings

Hi All !,

I want to use the Settings.settings in a Windows Application to store my database Connection String. I have created a variable and kept the scope as Application. However I am not able to use it properly in my pages. I do not know what namespaces,classes or properties I need to call.

In Web Application it was simple to use by using the ConfigurationSettings.AppConfig methods & properties.

Can anyone help ??

Thanks in advance

When using the Settings file, set it's Scope to "Application".

You should be able to open the Settings.settings file and modify if you want.

To access, you can use the following:
My.Settings.ConnectionString
