Login Dialog Box, Settings Page, Project Designer
Client application services enable your Windows-based applications to access application settings stored in an Microsoft Ajax profile service. You can use the Settings page in the Project Designer to load Web settings property data configured for use by either authenticated users or anonymous users. This property data includes property names and default values. When you load the Web settings, the properties are added to your project's Settings class (accessed as Properties.Settings.Default in C# and My.Settings in Visual Basic). For more information about the Web settings service, see Client Application Services Overview. For more information about application settings, see Application Settings Overview.
The Login dialog box appears when you click Load Web Settings on the Settings page in the Project Designer. Use the Login dialog box with valid credentials to load Web settings configured for use by all authenticated users. (This requires a valid authentication service location, which you can specify on the Services page of the Project Designer.) Skip authentication to load Web settings configured for use by all anonymous users. You can specify the Web settings and authentication service locations on the Services page. For more information about the Services page, see Services Page, Project Designer.
To open the Login dialog box, select a project node in Solution Explorer, and then on the Project menu, click Properties. When the Project Designer appears, click the Settings tab, and then click the Load Web Settings button. This button will be disabled until you specify a Web settings service location on the Services page.
