Make your application settings store values in database

Application settings in .net applications is a mechanism that allows you to define, modify and easily access a collection of settings. Depending on the setting scope (user or application) they are stored in a .config file deeply under your %USER_PROFILE% folder or in your application’s .exe.config or web.config file. In this post I will show a way to change that behavior and make settings be stored in database.

Mocking application settings

Last time I showed a simple way of using application settings in our wpf application. This time I would like to present you my way of testing Properties.Settings, or rather mocking it in our application tests.

Where should I store user and application settings in my WPF application? Well, in Settings of course.
