title: Why are my application settings not getting persisted?
body: <p>So I have some settings that are of the <strong>user</strong> scope, but for some reason, they are not being saved to the .exe.config file. I do the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Properties.Settings.Default.Email = "new@value.com";
  Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Yet I look at the settings file in the debug folder and it is still the default that I set in visual studio. Am I doing this wrong?</p>
