Bind application settings to ComboBox items

[asedt]

So i'm using VS 2005 and VB.

My ultimate goal is to make a ComboBox with the items from the stored settings. The setting is of the type StringCollection (System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection).

In the design mode you cant find the Items property for the combobox in the Application settings.

My current code does works but not good. But if i can convert the StringCollection to a string array in a better way than i'm doing now the that wold be a good solution.

I have added a setting with the StringCollection type. Then in Form1_Load i do this:

StringArr = New String() {"1", "2", "3", "4"}
My.Settings.Item("StringCollectionName").CopyTo(StringArr, 0)
ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(StringArr)

It works if StringCollectionName has 4 objects, but thats wery bad. Then you can only change settnings, not add or remove withut changing the number. I'm quite new to .NET so i have problems converting this StringCollection to a 1-dimensional array of strings. Maybe you can check the lengt of StringCollectionName or somthing like that to...

The CopyTo:

Dim b(My.Settings.Item("NameOfSetting").Count - 1) As String
My.Settings.Item("NameOfSetting").CopyTo(b, 0)
ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(b)

It's better than before, it works but maybe anuone know a better way?
