Persist Application settings across multiple Pro versions - Roaming property

DaveFullerton — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 17:07:19 GMT

After watching your advanced customization video here, I tried out using application settings for the first time. I was concerned by the fact that the user.config file was stored in a path the last part of which was "3.2.0.0."

I looked at "Persist Application settings across multiple Pro versions" in the pro guide here. In the second bullet point it says to "Be sure to set it's Roaming property to True also." I couldn't find where to do that and after some research am wondering if this is still necessary.

I am wondering if my question was overlooked. @CharlesMacleod @UmaHarano @Wolf

I have looked at post like this one https://stackoverflow.com/questions/534261/how-do-you-keep-user-config-settings-across-different-assembly-versions-in-net , but I don't find anything related to the directive "Be sure to set it's Roaming property to True also."

The Roaming attribute is a little bit hidden. I agree it can be a little bit tricky to get the value to display. With any property selected in the settings designer grid, show the Visual Studio properties grid (usually co-located with the Solution Explorer). U will see a property called "Roaming" with a default value of **false**. Change as needed.

Thanks, Charles! I am just about to get my new add-in into the 'testing by others' phase.
