Dears,

I developed an extension on ArcMap using several add-ins (Buttons, Combo, Toolbars, DockableWindow, etc). In my application there are configurations to be stored and edited by the end user.

I was able to read and write to the app.config of the Add-in, however, every time I close and open (Restart) the ArcMap, the configuration is overridden by the values when the solution was released (complied). I used a custom configuration file (CustomConfig.xml) and I faced the same behavior.

Any ideas how to preserve user values for the configuration? and what is the best practice to achieve such goal?

Best Regards,

Did you consider using users windows registry for storing this user related values?
