ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute Class

Definition

Specifies that an application settings property has a common value for all users of an application. This class cannot be inherited.

public ref class ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute sealed : System::Configuration::SettingAttribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Property)]
public sealed class ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute : System.Configuration.SettingAttribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Property)>]
type ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute = class
    inherit SettingAttribute

Remarks

Application settings properties have a scope that is based either at the application or the user level. As the categories imply, application-scoped settings properties present uniform values to all users of the application, whereas user-scoped properties have dedicated values for each user of the application.

The ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute indicates that a property should be considered an application-level setting, and that appropriate storage decisions should be made accordingly by the settings provider.

A scope attribute is required for each settings property. If a property is not applied with either a ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute or UserScopedSettingAttribute, the property is not recognized by the settings provider - it is not serialized. It is invalid, however, to apply both attributes to the same property. Such an attempt will cause a ConfigurationErrorsException to be thrown.
