my.settings frustration

[kevin_sauerwald]

I use mysettings for my program.. when its an exe it seems to keep all the
values.. but when I run it from day to day in debug all the settings
go bye bye.. they usually last for the day..

there some setting to make it keep the settings when debugging from day to
day and not have to re-enter.. ?

or are they tied to some app id and when I run again that changes ?

I can't say that I have an answer as to why you are getting this behavior, but I can tell you that I am using My.Settings in debug without it behaving in the way you describe. Therefore, it suggests that you are doing something that you are either not intending, or not realizing.

They are usually tied to a version number. Are you incrementing the version of your app?

[kevin_sauerwald]

I'm not knowingly changing the version.. maybe there is some setting
that changes on every run ? hmmm...

[kleinma]

It shouldn't. They did in VS2003 but starting with 2005 the default version number is 1.0.0.0 and won't change unless you change it.
