Question

I have this and this only saves the last folder used when the user closes the application and re-opens it.

private void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     Properties.Settings.Default.Reload();

     fbFolderBrowser.SelectedPath = AppVars.LastSelectedFolder;

     if (fbFolderBrowser.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
     {
          Properties.Settings.Default.LastSelectedFolder = fbFolderBrowser.SelectedPath.ToString();
          Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
     }
}

Every time the user selects a folder, I want to save that path. Then, when he clicks the browse button again, I want the default path to be his last selection.

The above is not working. It only saves the last path selected and goes back to it only if I restart the app. How would I go about saving the last path in the same app session?

You need to reload the settings:

Properties.Settings.Default.Reload();

Note that this only works when not running in Debug mode (AFAIK).
