Settings.Designer.pas is not updated when editing Settings.settings

Just tried editing Settings.settings and then build/rebuild/rightclick Settings.settings->“Update Settings.Designer.pas”.

It does not update the file.

Hmm, this works for me. can you send me a testcase where this fails, maybe it’s something sopeiifc inside the file or project that is throwing it off…

thanx!

This is Settings.settings after I have added a new property:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

  <Settings>

    </Setting>
    <Setting Name="CPR_IssuerCVR" Type="System.String" Scope="Application">

    <Setting Name="CPRDirekte_Username" Type="System.String" Scope="Application">

    </Setting>
    
  </Settings>
</SettingsFile>

If I right-click and choose: Update Settings.Designer.pas - nothing happens.

5

Is this the correct way to modify Settings.settings ?

6

It is a .NET console app. Is this important?

I have just tried with a new console app - and it is the same - nothing happens.

Updates fine for me; new console app, pasted your settings over :(.
