Remarks

The SettingsSerializeAs enumeration is used to specify the serialization mechanism used by the application settings provider to persist the values of application settings properties. For example, the <System.Configuration.SettingsSerializeAsAttribute> uses this enumeration in its constructor to request that a property or group of properties be persisted using the specified serialization mechanism.
