Settings File - Multiple Values

just do this...

What I would really like in the XML is:


MyString1
a
MyString2
b

Thanks for the reply, but its not quite what I'm asking - I'll try explaining a bit better this time! :o)

I currently have a setting, lets say MyString which has two values for example 'A' and 'B'. So in my settings view I currently have MyString A,B.

Pretend in my application I have a string entered by the user which could be A, B or C. I want to compare to see if its one of the values in my settings file. I'm currently having to read the setting value:

string settingStrings = Workspace.Properties.Default.MyString;
string[] settings = settingStrings.Split(",");

foreach (string setting in settings)
{
if (userstring == setting)
{
// do something
}
}


In the XML file for the app.config though there is a single entry, something like:


MyString
a,b



What I would really like in the XML is:


MyString
a
b


Is this possible? Or would I need to write my own XML reader for this instance?

Thanks for reading!

If you double click on Properties in the solution explorer, and then click on the 'Settings' tab.  You will see a grid that will allow you to setup application wide and user controlled settings.

You can get or set the values of a user setting at run time.  To access one, this will work (as an example for a setting called email).

MessageBox.Show(Properties.Settings.Default.email);

To set one, this will work:

Properties.Settings.Default.email = textBox1.Text;

Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
