Get/Set app.config values for WPF and Windows forms using C#
In Windows forms developers sometimes need a place to store information like connection strings or data binding to controls. This is typically done usually under project properties by creating a setting which generates xml e.g. < userSettings > < WindowsFormsApp1.Properties.Settings > < setting name = " Author " serializeAs = " String " > < value > Karen Payne </ value > </ setting > </ WindowsFormsApp1.Properties.Settings > </ userSettings > Although this works sometimes we want more control so we can have < appSettings > < add key = " DatabaseServer " value = " .\SQLEXPRESS " /> < add key = " Catalog " value = " NorthWind2020 " /> < add key = " SortColumn " value = " CompanyName " />...
