How to add Properties.Settings.Default in c#

Question

I am not able to write "Properties.Settings.Default". It is not coming in the dropdown list. Is there any namespace that we can add?

what type of application is it ? is it console based or winform based ? — bkdev, Feb 15 '16 at 05:21

An additional hint on top of the above answers:

Go to solution explorer -> Properties folder -> Settings.settings -> Settings.Designer.cs file

and see which namespace is being used there. Ensure that you are using this namespace in your code file as others have suggested

Add your project namespace to the Properties namespace. The default namespace defined in the project settings.

For instance if your project default namespace is MyApp.

MyApp.Properties.Settings.Default

Look at your project settings and find the default namespace for your project. For instance if it is "MyApp" try MyApp.Properties.Settings.Default – CharithJ Feb 15 '16 at 05:32

Make sure you are on the same namespace and try to access the properties like this :

namespace.Properties.Settings.Default

or if you are on different namespace don't forget to use

using namespace

Once you setup your environment in the settings under properties of the app. You want to reference it to the project like this:

using App.Properties.Settings

Then in the code you write you can use as example:

userName.Settings.Default

In this case userName is set within the settings.

Properties.Settings.Default.User = txtUser.Text; Properties.Settings.Default.Password = txtPass.Text; Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

if you use Windows 10, this is the directory of setting Values: C:\Users\AppData\Local<ProjectName.exe_Url_somedata>\1.0.0.0<filename.config>
