The question is simple: Can I see the stored values of my application configuration? Not at running time.

The only thing I see in app.config is this:

        <setting name="myvariable" serializeAs="String">
            <value />
        </setting>

In my code I did a Save() but why I can't see the values in the file?

    Settings.settings is saved as user specific data. This might help you more, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/982354/where-are-the-properties-default-settings-stored – Rohit Prakash Jan 20 '15 at 08:52

Settings.settings simply describes the design-time contents for user-specific settings. The actual runtime file which is created is user.config which can be found under the AppData folder under your specific Windows username and related to your application and the specific assembly that has the Settings.settings file within it.

If you want to check where it is at runtime, check the value of Environment.GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)
