Default.Settings.Save does not save classes

Question

I am using the Properties.Settings field in the project. Set the variable type to bool, string etc. When I set it the below code works without any problem. But when I set a class directly in the project as a type, it doesn't save. Settings field can't access the classes in the project?

Data type : ProjectName.Models.SettingsModel, Name : AppSettigs.

Data type : bool, Name : IsRemember.

In the code below, the save process is successful. But when I open the project again, AppSettings returns null.

Code:

 Properties.Settings.Default.IsRemember = true;
                   Properties.Settings.Default.AppSettings = new SettingsModel()
                   { 
                        AccentColorItems  = Settings.AccentColorItems,
                        ThemeItems = Settings.ThemeItems,
                        SelectedAccentColor = Settings.SelectedAccentColor,
                        SelectedTheme = Settings.SelectedTheme,
                        SelectedLanguage = Settings.SelectedLanguage,
                        AppNotifications = Settings.AppNotifications,
                        SystemNotifications = Settings.SystemNotifications,
                        AllowAutomaticUpdating = Settings.AllowAutomaticUpdating
                   };
                   Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

I followed the suggestions here, but nothing changed.

C# Settings.Default.Save() not saving?

I've not had to use it myself (so won't post as an answer) but I believe settings are saved as XML, meaning you're limited to what can be represented in XML [primitive types, lists, etc] — Basic, Jun 26 '23 at 10:49
Yes, I guess as you mentioned. I solved the problem by serializing and saving. — Ozgur Saklanmaz, Jun 26 '23 at 11:13
XML serialization saves public properties with a getter and a setter, not fields. — Hans Passant, Jun 26 '23 at 13:45
I didn't do XML serialization. I serialized it in JSON format. — Ozgur Saklanmaz, Jun 27 '23 at 03:07
