Visual Studio 2022 winform designer does not show ApplicationSettings in the property window of any-CodePudding

In VS 2022 I create a new winform (.net 6.0) project. I put one textbox on the form. In the properties window, at the top, I'm used to seeing an item "ApplicationSettings" where I can bind the TEXT property of the textbox to an application setting. But I no longer see the line for "ApplicationSettings". If I open an older winform project it works as expected.

CodePudding user response：

The feature is (still) not available for WinForms .NET 6 but if you create a WinForms .NET framework project, it's available.

As a workaround, you can create the Application Settings yourself and add a user-scoped property like Property1, then setup a databinding in code, like this:

this.textBox1.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", 
    Properties.Settings.Default, "Property1", true,
    DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged));
