I have some different settings type and assigned values which need to read it during the runtime as per the customer choice.



Type of the settings are specializedstringcollection and want to call it from the method ReadString() ;



 public static void ReadStrings(StringCollection MyString)

{

// Reading from settings as per user decision

List<string> lines =Properties.Settings.Default.MyString.Cast<string>().ToList();


The code is giving an error ;





"'object' does not contain a definition for 'Cast' and the best extension method overload 'Queryable.Cast(IQueryable)'





Would you please let me know how can i read different settings types as per the user decision

  • I will make the decision in other class and assign it to MyString by calling this method

    What are you attempting to do with Properties.Settings.Default.MyString.Cast<string>().ToList(); ? Are you just attempting to retrieve all the properties? Why not just use SettingsPropertyCollection list = Properties.Settings.Default.Properties; and then loop through the properties and retrieve their value?

  • I dont need to read all the properities just the specific one ( as per the user decision) and assign it to List collection to use. Actually i prefer to use settings instead of reading from a textfile

  • Addition: Each settings have a big strings like ASCii art strings and i believe that it takes time of i read it all at one time
