Modify Windows Application "User Profile Settings" from a class library (user.config)

[Chad A. Beckner]

Hi everyone,

I have a common class library (call it common_library) that I
include/reference in my projects. In this class library, I would like to
have it save certain settings to the user.config for the application.
However, when I put in

Properties.Settings.Default["SOMEKEY"] = somevalue;

it kicks back an exception
(System.Configuration.SettingsPropertyNotFoundExce ption) that their is no
property in my common_library, when it should be trying to save the settings
in the application user settings. I've looked at ApplicationSettingsBase,
SettingsBase, Context, etc, but can't seem to figure it out. Since I can't
set it to the namespace of the application (it is a common library), I can't
tell it to use the application's "Properties.Settings..." setup. I can't
figure out how to pass the provider to the class library so that I can
manipulate it there, and then save it. Help?! :-)

Thanks!

Chad
