I have a Windows forms application. When I view settings on the Settings tab of my project properties and when I look at App.config, I see one set of values. When I view the values for some of the properties in a message box in the main form's New subroutine, I see different values. I have no idea where these different values are coming from. Any ideas where else to look for property values that would be overriding what's in App.config? Thanks!

    app.config store the default values (which you can reset). The current values (in the `User` scope) are stored in the `user.config` file in the `AppData` folder of the current User (`AppData\Local` or `AppData\Roaming`, depending on how a setting is configured). -- See the notes at the bottom of this Q&A: [How to get the current value of a Property Setting at run-time using a loop](https://stackoverflow.com/a/60117461/7444103) – Jimi May 18 '22 at 14:57
  • From explorer, you can get to Roaming as %appdata% and to Local as %localappdata%. – Craig May 20 '22 at 14:15

do you try checking on the app.config <add name="pointername" (name) and compare to properties.settings? it should be the same with the app.config.
