Just access the settings like this...
Properties.Settings.Default.SettingName
Substitute your setting name for SettingName. That will return a string.
Now, a cool thing you can do with settings is save them! Just create a setting in the same place you set up your connection string. Say for example, you create a setting called UserEmail. Here's how you would save to it.
Properties.Settings.Default.UserEmail = "[email protected]"; // sample e-mail
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
Now, to retrieve it & display on a label, do this...
label1.Text = Properties.Settings.Default.UserEmail;
It WILL persist these settings from one run time to another. This is MUCH easier than using regristy settings, IMHO!!!
