Using Custom Classes with Application Settings
Application settings can be created using a project's property windows, with those values being transferred into configuration files and classes that simplify their use. The settings data can be of many different types, including custom classes.

Public Application Settings
Application settings, created using Visual Studio's project properties, are of internal scope by default, allowing them to be used from within the same assembly. The scope can be changed to public to allow settings to be shared between projects.

Application Settings
There are various ways to hold application-wide and user-specific settings externally to a program. One is to set up application settings in a Visual Studio project. These permit strongly typed configuration that can be changed without recompiling.
