Winforms app, user setings don't get persisted.

Bob
Winforms application in VS2005 using VB.
Have some code that sets a user setting using the my.settings code
For instance My.Settings.Thi sSetting = "New setting" then My.settings.Sav e()
to explicitly save it.
After doing this I close the application, look at the application's config
file and see that the ThisSetting is not New Setting but is still the old
setting. When I open the application again, I can see that the old setting
is still being used.

This occurs when running the distributed executable. In the development
environment when I run it in debug mode I can also see that the config file
of the vshost does not persist the change.

How can I persist the changes I need to make to the app.config file? I want
to try to avoid having to use Notepad to edit the config files.
I had a class doing this in my 2003 application but the xml text that
appears to need to be changed looks quite different between what was used in
2003 config files and in 2005 config files.

I would realy appreciate any help with this problem.

Looks like problem was 18 inches from screen, got it working.
Found that to persist, had to close application after doing save, not sure
why this seems to be so. In any case I'm gonna call this one good enough.

When to use a privileged user thread rather than a windows service? That's the question raised in a previous post . It was suggested that if the service needs to interact with a WinForms app (which is the UI used to adjust the actions taken by, and the schedule of the service), then a privileged user thread should be used in the UI - no service required. But... "A windows service enables the creation of long-running executable

Here I am learning WinForms and two months into it I learn there's a WPF API that is coming out. Is this WPF out yet, and is it a threat to WinForms, in the sense that all the library routines I memorize and/ or familiarize myself in WinForms will disappear in WPF? I did note in one early version of C#, the non-generic "ArrayList" was replaced by the generic and template <based List, but that kind of change is not a big deal. If WPF...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
