Great article. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work for me. I'm a total WPF newbie.

This entry generates an error stating that the uri refers to a namespace that is not included in the assembly.

xmlns:properties="clr-namespace:SampleApp.Properties"

Of course I replace "SampleApp" in the entry above with my assembly name. I can't figure out how to include a "Properties" namespace.

Then of course, this entry generates an error stating that the type 'properties:Settings' was not found.

<properties:Settings x:Key="Settings" />

So what am I doing wrong? Is there an easy way to add a namespace?

Thanks...

Actually you can access the current property value in code by using the strongly typed:

Properties.Settings.Default.Username

instead of: Properties.Settings.Default[“Username”]

Hope it helps.

I want to update values of user settings while setup (installation). I am using Visual Studio Installer MSI installer. I did following but value not updated.

Properties.Settings.Default[“Setting1”] = "Modified Value";

Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

Subscribe to the SettingsChanging event ( Properties.Settings.Default.SettingChanging += new System.Configuration.SettingChangingEventHandler(Default_SettingChanging);)

then call .Save() on the settings, should make the life easier :)

How can you make it the binding conditional such as if the form had a "remember me" check box?
