How do I use My.Settings equivalent in C#? Below is part of MSDN documentation about accessing settings file. I wrote C# console application using VS 2005 and .NET 2.0 and would like to use new settings file in 2.0 and can not find any documentation about using c#, there is some for VB.NET.

This section contains topics describing the My.Settings object and the tasks it enables you to accomplish.

My.Settings
The properties of the My.Settings object provide access to your application's settings. To add or remove settings, use the Project Designer. For more information, see How to: Add or Remove Application Settings.

The methods of the My.Settings object allow you to save the current user settings or revert the user settings to the last saved values.

Tasks
The following table lists examples showing how to access an application's forms.

See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/25zf0ze8.aspx for info on
how to add/remove application settings. Once you have added the
settings file you can use the designer to add settings to the app. The
Settings class by default gets created in the Properties namespace under
your application. In code you can create an instance of the Settings
class and then access the settings within it as well as call its
methods. Ex:

Properties.Settings s = new Properties.Settings();
Console.WriteLine(s.UserSetting1);
s.UserSetting1 = "New Value";
s.Save();

Perfect. Thanks. That's what I was looking for.
What an improvement over .NET 1.1!
