Application Settings

[John]

I have a dll that saves user settings into user.config and it does the
save/retrive right. The problem is when the software starts/initializes, it
does not seem to read from the user.config, it gets the defaults that I
specified in the design time. Here is the code,

Settings settings = Settings.Default;

I want the dll to do the following,
if there's a user.config, read from it;
else read from the fefauts.

How can I do that? Thanks.

Are you sure that you've saved the changed to the settings after they've
been changed?

You need to call the Settings.Save() method to write changes back out.

Also, with a DLL you should make sure that the user.config file you
expect to be used is actually used.
