app.config file

[cBarry263]

In my app.config file, I'd like to know if (and how) you can nest the applicationsettings. HEre is an example of what I am trying to do, obviously with different data, but I thought this might make it easier to understand: Here is what I have:
<applicationSettings>
<WindowsApplication1.My.MySettings>
<setting name="bills_stadium_name" serializeAs="String">
<value>Ralph Wilson Stadium</value>
</setting>
<setting name="bills_main_color" serializeAs="String">
<value>blue</value>
</setting>
<setting name="ravens_stadium_name" serializeAs="String">
<value>M&T Bank Stadium</value>
</setting>
<setting name="ravens_main_color" serializeAs="String">
<value>purple</value>
</setting>
</WindowsApplication1.My.MySettings>
</applicationSettings>

Here is how I would like it to be:

<applicationSettings>
<WindowsApplication1.My.MySettings>
<setting name="buffalo bills" serializeAs="String">
<setting name ="stadium_name" serializeAs="String">
<value>Ralph Wilson Stadium</value>
</setting>
<setting name ="main_color" serializeAs="String">
<value>blue</value>
</setting>
</setting>
<setting name="Baltimore Ravens" serializeAs="String">
<setting name="stadium_name" serializeAs="String">
<value>M&T Bank Stadium</value>
</setting>
<setting name="ravens_main_color" serializeAs="String">
<value>purple</value>
</setting>
</setting>
</WindowsApplication1.My.MySettings>
</applicationSettings>

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

how are those two different??? only setting name in little changed.

I dont think you can do that.

Stick it in an XML file, its more appropriate for the hiarchical/structured type data you are trying to store.

BTW Manic. He is trying to nest one setting inside of another.. I assume that anyways (he just has a few sytax mistakes in his example)
