| Application scoped
settings are essentially read only from the application's point of view, and
aren't meant to be changed by users, but rather only the administrator. An
additional reason for this has to do with how the default SettingsProvider
stores settings. Application scoped settings are stored in the exe
configuration file, and user scoped settings are stored in user.config files
located in the user data path. Generally, exe config files should not be
written to at runtime by the application, since the user may not have access to
them. In addition, it is normally not a good idea for a user to change a file
that affects every other user of the application. |
