Remarks

The .NET Framework enables side-by-side installation and execution of different versions of the same application. The application settings provider stores the application settings for each version of an application separately to ensure isolation. However, you may want to migrate settings from the previous version of an application to the current one. To provide this migration functionality, use the Upgrade method, implemented in a class derived from SettingsProvider.

You can use the Upgrade method in conjunction with the GetPreviousVersion method to migrate application settings during or after the installation of a new version of an application.

This method should be suppressed for every application setting that has the NoSettingsVersionUpgradeAttribute is applied to it, or to the entire settings wrapper class, derived from ApplicationSettingsBase.
