What what I have read, Application Scoped settings in the setting file
are read only. Why is this? Is there a good reason for this
restriction?
I understand that some settings will be different for each user of the
app, hence the User Scoped settings. User scoped settings can be
changed and persisted at runtime.
But there are also settings that are not User Scoped (i. e.
Application Scoped) that still might need to be changed at runtime,
yet this is not possible. Why? Again, is there some good technical
reason for this restriction?
What alternatives are available to me to be able to persist
Application Scoped settings?
Thanks,
Chris

One good reason is that application-scoped settings are generally things
that should be set or changed only during program installation or by an
administrator.

The "old" mechanism should work fine: create a registry key under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE and store your settings there. You will, of course,
need administrator privileges to do that, which is as it should be (no
regular user should be able to do anything that will affect any other
user).

I thought Microsoft were going away from using the Registry and instead
just using files. Do you know if this is true - would you recommend
continuing to use the registry?

I have a windows service and I would like to put there Settings for starting

Hi
For my db app, I need to save the location of the db (really a windows path)
which normally only needs to be set at the first app start (I can check if
the setting is missing and ask user for a value). Occasionally (once in a
blue moon) I may need to change this setting in case db is moved to a
different server etc.
My question is what sort of mechanism can/should I use to store this
setting?

Hi,
I'm working on a Windows Service (C#) and have added a few Application scope settings in it. Since application-scoped setting are read-only, I have manually added "set" functions for each of them in the designer-generated code. Now I can assign value to these settings at run-time and call the Save function without any exceptions, but this doesn't actually save them to the disk file. Whenever my service restarts, i find that it is still...
