When a user logs in, i get all the permissions assigned to him and update settings accordingly so that i could access them in my whole project and i don't have to bring them from my database again and again and don't have to store them somewhere else as well. Please let me know if its the correct idea or if you have better idea than this. I am declaring different Names keeping their scope user type bool and default value to false.

They are showing how to change User Settings at run time. I did not find this helpful at all.

Settings with application scope are meant for things like connection strings, which the user cannot change at run time. So if that's the case just delete the setting and create a new one with the same name and change the scope to User. That should solve it.

Inventory.Properties.Settings.SQLFormsTestConnectionString' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only So... what is your solution to this and it seams that there is none. Hello

When I use this row
Properties.Settings.Default.SQLFormsTestConnectionString = tbConnectionString.Text;

I get compiler error.
Inventory.Properties.Settings.SQLFormsTestConnectionString’ cannot be assigned to — it is read only

So… what is your solution to this and it seams that there is none.
