Hi All,

My.Settings.LasForm=FormName
'Where FormName is the variable whoose value must be stored in the variable LasForm. But when i Stop the Application ie Stop Debugging.... The value is not present in the Value field of that variable in the Settings page......

Is the way I am using wrong or its something else..........

When you run the application setting are stored in a runtime configuration file. For first run these are based on the default values you have set in development. If you change a setting the runtime configuration file stores this value, they do not change the source code of application.
A similar situation would be if I installed Excel and changed a user setting, would this change Microsofts source code for Excel? (No ) Debugging an application is no different in principle, the source code is built and deployed to for example Bin/Debug folder, and application is started. The difference is only VS attaches a debugger that enables you to break into source code and see what is happening during runtime.

So when an application is Deployed and the user does any changes these changes will not be lost when the User quits and Launches the application later...............

Am i right..........

Please correct me.....................

Nd Thank you a Lot........

Application settings are saved on application exit by default.
