The Settings class has an Upgrade method that grabs the previous
settings. Make sure you add your own setting SettingsUpdateRequired that
is defaultly set to true, otherwise this will overwrite your settings
each time you start your program.
static class Program
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
// Get the settings from a previous version if we can
if (Properties.Settings.Default.SettingsUpdateRequired)
{
Properties.Settings.Default.Upgrade();
Properties.Settings.Default.SettingsUpdateRequired =
false;
}
Application.Run(new MainForm());
}
}

Ross.

Subject: [WiX-users] Preservation of .net settings?
I have a WiX project used to install a .net app. The app makes use of
the Properties of .net to store settings. These settings go in
%APPDATA%\Path\to\dir\version\user.config
After I rev the version (either through a small patch, minor upgrade,
major upgrade), how do I pull in these settings to be used by the new
app? I'm not sure if this should be handled by the installer or my
program. Within the .net app, I only access these settings through the
"Properties.*" namespace, not by the path, so I'm unsure how to handle
this issue.
Thanks,
Ryan
