You can use client application services to retrieve user settings from an existing Web settings service by configuring your application to use the ClientSettingsProvider class. For more information, see How to: Configure Client Application Services. After configuration, you can get and set user settings through an application settings class derived from ApplicationSettingsBase and configured to use the ClientSettingsProvider class. You can use Visual Studio to generate a Settings class for your project (accessed as Properties.Settings.Default in C# and My.Settings in Visual Basic). For more information about application settings, see Application Settings Overview.
You can retrieve the current ClientSettingsProvider through the ApplicationSettingsBase::Providers property using the fully-qualified ClientSettingsProvider class name as a key. You can also retrieve the provider through the SettingsLoadedEventArgs::Provider property when you handle the ApplicationSettingsBase::SettingsLoaded event.
