[RESOLVED] Changing app.config file

I have written a program and to make it more user friendly, I decided that instead of 'hiding' a value in the file <progname>.exe.config, I would put a fake value in said file and if the program sees the fake value, it will ask the user for the proper value. Once a proper value is entered, that would then be saved.

Seems simple and everything worked just fine until the save part. My code is very simple:

Code:

My.Settings.ImageFolder = strImageFolder My.Settings.Save()

When the program exits, the file D:\Users\<myuser>\AppData\Local\<myCompany>\<progName>.vshost.exe_Url_w0g22drgbdpf0co5rlclb1t5htehum f3\1.0.0.0 is written. However, when the program runs the next time, the 'If' statement that checks the setting, specifically

Code:

Dim strImageFolder As String = My.Settings.ImageFolder If strImageFolder = "foobar" Then

is positive. Basically, the program (running in Debug) mode is reading the file either in C:\Users\<myuser>\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\<progName>\<progName> in the folder \bin\release below this directory and not the file that was just saved.

Is there a way to get the Settings.Save command to write one of the files that is being read or to modify the program so that it reads the modified file? Thanks.
