Sounds like a namespace issue. The actual application
Properties.Settings.Default.xxxx values are not in
System.Windows.Forms.PropertyStore, so you can see from the error that
the immediate window is trying to use a different Properties than the
one you need.
The Settings class in which the values exist is actually in Properties
namespace within your own application's namespace.
So, if your program's namespace is MyProgram, you should be able to show
the settings via MyProgram.Properties.Settings.Default.xxxx (where xxxx
is whatever setting you're looking for, of course).

I wander if I screwed things up here. I have several classes that
serve a similar purpose. All of them are in the name space,
"MyProgram". Then later, just to fool around with the IDE, I decided
to create a folder, "Items", in the Solution Explorer, and move all
the classes to that folder, since they do similar work. If I create a
new class within the folder, the namespace comes up as
"MyProgram.Items". The other classes, of course, do not have this NS.
Is that a bad policy?
