Hi, I have a list of variables with their hardcode values i want to use.

Is there a way to put them on a separate file ( XML, Text, etc ) and then load them on demand?

I have a combobox where the user selects, and i load a variable depending on that he selected.

I just dont want to load 50+ variables in my main code if it can be avoided.

Thanks!

Yes, the exact name you used to defined the variable will be part of the intellisense.

I have not tried a direct binding to Settings, but you can just always put a code in the ValueChanged(or similar event) of checkbox and radio-box to handle the assignment.

Using the Application Setting is the easiest way to load pre-defined values.

Could you give me an example of how i would do that?

I looked into MSDN and it shows examples with databindings, not sure if that is what i want.

Thanks!

VS2005 and VS2008: Right-click on the the project to which you wanna add the settings. This will open the project property window. Click on "Settings," this is theneweditor for the app.config. You don't have to touch app.config. If you need to getback to the grid justdouble-click on Settings.settings under the Propertynode.

You might want to set the Scope to Application instead of User.

Tobe able to access these settings, just create an instance of the Settings class;

<Your Project NameSpace>.Properties.Settings settings = new<Your Project NameSpace>.Properties.Settings();

I see.

Correct me if im wrong.

So in the grid under name thats my variable name, type is whatever i need it to be, and so on.

So when im done, i create an instance of it, then i can just reference the variables as i would normally do?

like myvar = myAppSetting.mybar1

and so on?
