Saving application settings

Question

I have two assemblies in my application. MyApplication.BO and MyApplication.GUI .

I configured preference properties for my BO build.

Now when I try to compile the following code:

 public class MyApplicationInfo { private string _nameOfTheUser; public string FullNameOfTheUser { get { return _nameOfTheUser; } set { _nameOfTheUser = value; } } public void Save() { try { MyApplication.BO.Properties.Settings.Default.FullNameOfTheUser = this.FullNameOfTheUser; MyApplication.BO.Properties.Settings.Default.Save(); } catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; } } } 

VS2005 gives me the following compilation error:

Error 1 The property or indexer 'MyApplication.BO.Properties.Settings.FullNameOfTheUser' cannot be assigned - it is read-only F: \ CS \ MyApplication \ MyApplication.BO \ MyApplicationInfo.cs 57 17 MyApplication.BO

What is wrong with my approach?

Answer 1

In the settings designer, make sure that the Scope property for FullNameOfTheUser is set to User. If you create an Application-scoped parameter, it is generated as a read-only property. See this article for more information.

Answer 2

The parameter must have a user, not an application scope.
