Are WPF Application Settings automatically saved by default?

Question

Are WPF Application Settings automatically saved by default when exit?

I just added a boolean to my application settings (by default is setted to false). I want to set it to true when application is running and next time when I open it again, to be false. I don't want to save my application settings. I want to be static for that boolean.

It is saving automatically?

When I used to work with VB.NET Winforms, there was a setting in Application tab, named "Save my.settings on shutdown". But, how is in WPF?

I use Visual Studio 2012, Vb.NET WPF application

Thank you

Are settings saved automatically? No, you have to explicit invoke the Save method upon each settings class.

Since you mention that you have multiple windows, then i think the quick and dirty way would be to override the OnExit Method in App:

Class Application
    Protected Overrides Sub OnExit(ByVal e As ExitEventArgs)
        MySettings.Default.Save()
        MyBase.OnExit(e)
    End Sub
End Class
