System 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Configuration.SettingAttribute System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Property) Application settings properties have a scope that is based either at the application or the user level. As the categories imply, application-scoped properties present uniform values to all users of the application, whereas user-scoped properties have dedicated values for each user of the application. The indicates that a property should be considered a user level setting, and that appropriate storage decisions should be made accordingly by the settings provider. A scope attribute is required for each application settings property. If a property is not applied with either a or , the property is ignored by the settings provider—it is not serialized. It is invalid, however, to apply both attributes to the same settings property. Such an attempt will cause a to be thrown.
