I’m trying to use application settings in my project.

When I try the following line of code in the project, I get an error.

TransferLogs.Properties.Settings.Default.ValleyLastRun = timeNow;

The resulting error is:

The type or namespace name ‘Properties’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Williams.TransferLogs’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I have the setting “ValleyLastRun” defined as a DateTime on my Project->Properties->Settings page. I don’t know why I can’t reference the setting in my project.

    The problem is related to your resource file. Per default the settings are generated as internal. You can change that in the dropdown box above the settings.

    There is sometimes a problem with the constructor of this class because it remains internal. You can change that manually but after every edit of the Settings it will be reset to internal.
