ApplicationSettingsBase, Shared between Machines?

Hello.

I am trying to work with the Settings in .NET 2.0.

I have a few settings in the VS2005 generated ApplicationSettingsBase
class (Properties.Settings.settings). These settings are marked as
user scope. I would like to share those user-defined settings between
machines (The domain is not set for user roaming). Is there any way to
save the config file to a directory and open it when the program
starts to load? Thanks.

Hi Gilbert,
These settings are marked as user scope
Click to expand...
So, why don't you change the scope to application? (project properties,
settings, scope)

If this is not the answer you are looking for, then please give some more
info.
 
The default implementation of MS Properties.Settings.Default.<Some Setting> with application scope doesn't allow to save any changes back to original <program>.exe.config file, only user scope.

I'm struggling with the same problem: how to share a single <program>.exe.config file among several running networked instances of the same app?
