Properties.Settings.Default (application.exe.config) am I losing my mind?

[DaBrain]

I have a program that uses settings. When I save my settings they are
saved:

Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

when I restart the application, my settings are present, the changes
are in fact saved. All is good!

However, When I go to the application Folder application.exe.config
and open the file, the file has my original design time settings for
everything. No Updates are there. None! But they must be written
somewhere because they are maintained.

I have searched my system for anything that resembles my assembly name
with hopes of finding it.

Where are they - What's Going on here?

Dee Deee Deeee!

I figured it out.

.... Document and Settings....\User.Config

Sorry, i'm thinking that settings are the same as the Web.Config file.

Hi,

Try this:

Dim config As Configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Configur ationUserLevel.PerUserRoamingAndLocal)

MessageBox.Show("Local user config path: " & config.FilePath)
