Hey it's Filippo - 29 Mar 2007 17:37 GMT

Hi there,
I have an Windows application that on the maintenaince form allows the user
to chose certain values that I store on the app.config.

These values are stored on the
<appSettings>
<connectionSettings>

Currently when the user changes any of those values, I call
Application.ReStart() in order to reload those values.

Is there a cleaner way to simply reload the config values without
re-starting the application?

This can be done rather easily by using User-scoped Application Settings.
