public class TipTraxSettings : mmAppConfiguration { public TipTraxSettings() : base(false) { // Specify the settings to be encrypted, and the encryption key this.SetEncryption("WSUserId,WSPassword", "PacificaSys"); // Use a custom Config file this.ReadKeysFromConfig("TipTrax.Config"); } #region Public Settings Properties /// <summary> /// MyTruckCode Property /// </summary> public string MyTruckCode { get { return _myTruckCode; } set { _myTruckCode = value; } } private string _myTruckCode = "120"; /// <summary> /// EnableGps Property /// </summary> public bool EnableGps { get { return _enableGps; } set { _enableGps = value; } } private bool _enableGps = true; } Then in App.cs Add a static public property to get to access them. /// <summary> /// ApplicationSettings Property /// </summary> public static TipTraxSettings ApplicationSettings { get { if (_applicationSettings == null) _applicationSettings = new TipTraxSettings(); return _applicationSettings; } } private static TipTraxSettings _applicationSettings; Now anywhere in the application I can reference it like this: if (AppDesktop.ApplicationSettings.EnableGps) { // Do something } or string truckCode = AppDesktop.ApplicationSettings.MyTruckCode;Hope that helps.
