VB.NET 2.0 & Application Settings..I have a question on how to use persistant application settings with 2.0. I understand I can use defined types like ints, strings, and so on, but how about my own custom class? The problem is I can fill in the 'type' of the setting as my custom class, but if I try to save the settings - calling the My.Settings.Save() - then reload the settings at a later time with the My.Settings.Reload() - the data in my custom class is not there. Infact I checked the XML and it only has the setting's name. In short: 1. Can I use my own class as a setting variable? 1.b. If so, how? 2. Do I need to use the Type converter? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a65txexh.aspx "Application settings can be stored as any data type that is XML serializable or has a TypeConverter that implements ToString/FromString. The most common types are String, Integer, and Boolean, but you can also store values as Color, Object, or as a connection string." 3. Is there a size restriction on the value of an application setting? I wonder if my class exceeds this. Thank you in advance, Modi <modi***@gmail.com> schrieb:
