Can you also show how to save user credentials such as user name and password

[@oyopelao]

how can you refresh your form automatically so that you dont have to exit to see the changes?

[@KareZArtS]

Write a Refresh Method. In this case: protected void Refresh() { button1.text = Settings.Default["Button"].ToString(); this.text = Settings.Default["Title"].ToString(); }

[@donstart4363]

Kare'Z Art'S i tried to put protected void refresh() like you did but it give me error ; expected

How to change the directory of the settings file

[@helios8369]

You can't. You can save information in a text file in temp folder for example. And read it whenever your application needs access to user data. Or save information in windows registry. And you can retrieve it with ease.

[@alitauseef9423]

savingusersettings namespace not found any help

[@Muhammed.Adiguzel]

projectname.Properties ;)

[@LorenKuich76]

This guy kinda looks like Omni... -_-

[@yah9011]

But what is saved is not displayed in the settings window of the studio itself. Dislike for wasted time.
