Do we still use IPersistComponentSettings in WPF?

Question

I'm still getting to grips with WPF: can anyone tell me if we should still use IPersistComponentSettings with WPF and if not, what is the new mechanism?

Answer 1

From the book Programming WPF:

The preferred setting mechanism for WPF applications is the one provided by .NET and VS: the ApplicationSettingBase class from the System.Configuration namespace with the built-in designer.

There is an example of inheriting your own settings class from ApplicationSettingBase provided in that link. You can also check out other ideas for saving settings, demonstrated in similar questions here and here.
