Certain application settings properties have a special significance that alters the way in which their associated settings provider should process them. The SpecialSettingAttribute is used to identify such properties. This class uses the System.Configuration::SpecialSetting enumeration to indicate what special category the property belongs to.
SpecialSettingAttributecan only be applied to the settings class or to the individual settings property.
For an example of how a settings provider deals with the SpecialSettingAttribute, see the GetPropertyValues method of the LocalFileSettingsProvider class.
