Question

In a MVVM approach how would I go about binding to Properties.Settings? Is there a way to bind a property in C# code(in the ViewModel) to another property(Properties.Settings.Default) or should i just bind to standard properties and on save make sure each property gets propogated manually to the Properties.Settings?

Answer 1

Something like the latter: expose settings in Properties.Settings.Default via properties on the ViewModel as appropriate for the view.

public class SomeViewModel
{
    public int SomeProperty
    {
        get
        { 
            return Properties.Settings.Default.SomeProperty; 
        }
        set
        { 
            Properties.Settings.Default.SomeProperty = value; 
        }
    }
}

…or code to that effect.
