           Summary: SettingsProviderAttribute does not work if applied to
                    class
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.4.x
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: NEW

Using the SettingsProviderAttribute to provide a custom SettingsProvider does
not work when applied to the class, only when applied to a property of a class:

In the below example, MySettingsProvider is used
when reading the SomeFlag property from the config-file:

public class AppSettings : ApplicationSettingsBase
{
  [UserScopedSettings()]
  [SettingsProvider(typeof(MySettingsProvider))]
  public property bool SomeFlag
  {
    get
    {
      return (bool)this["SomeFlag"];
    }
    set
    {
      this["SomeFlag"] = value;
    }
  }
}

In MS.Net, you can apply the attribute to the class
to make valid for all properties in that class

In the below example, MySettingsProvider is not used
when reading the SomeFlag property from the config-file

[SettingsProvider(typeof(MySettingsProvider))]
public class AppSettings : ApplicationSettingsBase
{
  [UserScopedSettings()]
  public property bool SomeFlag
  {
    get
    {
      return (bool)this["SomeFlag"];
    }
    set
    {
      this["SomeFlag"] = value;
    }
  }
}
