Using ModuleSettingsReader and ModuleSettingsWriter outside of Module class

[JFr87]

Hi,

in the Module class of an AddIn, you can save and read your own project settings by overwriting OnWriteSettingsAsync and OnReadSettingsAsync. Is it possible to use the ModuleSettingsReader and ModuleSettingsWriter passed as parameters in these methods in a different way? I want to be able to use ModuleSettingsReader and ModuleSettingsWriter outside of the Module class. The reason for this is that I want to write and read these project settings not only when saving or loading the project, but also when opening and closing a separate window, for example. I haven't been able to find an example of this yet.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Look at the BackStage_PropertyPage sample. Open ProjectSettingsViewModel.cs file. Look inside InitializeAsync() and CommitAsync() methods how you can access and modify project settings. If you need to save changes right now, you can call :

await Project.Current.SaveAsync();
