App.Config change doesn't affect My.Settings?

[Pieter]

Hi,

I'm using the Settings.settin gs of VB.NET to define a Connectionstrin g
(Scope = application). When I deploy the Solution, and change this Setting
in the app.config-file, it seems that itdoesn't affect the Application at
all! It still uses the old value. Are the Settings.Settin g hardcoded
somewhere
in the application?

I can't find any documentation of this subject, or anyway how I should do
it... Any help woudl be really appreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter

Dear Pieter,
Are you changing the Values after application starts?
cause this wont change until the app restarts. and can you please show
the code you are using to change the App.Config

Hi,

I'm jsut changing the App.Config with notepad (not in the application but
manually.

These are the steps:
- I install the application
- I go the the folder (C:\Program Files\MyApplica tion\"
- I open the file MyApplication.e xe.config with Notepad, and I change the
connectionstrin g
- I close the Myapplication.e xe.config, and start Myapplication.e xe
-> it still takes the old value (which isn't anymorei n the App.config...)

I didn't create the App.config or didn't change anything in it. when I
delete it the Settings.settin gs re-create it automaticly..

This is my application.con fig:
