Hi

I'm new to AppLife Update, so there might be a simple answer to this. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to persist the UpdateController settings (e.g. Proxy Username, Proxy Domains etc etc) in my application. I've created an item in My.Settings called UpdateController, but this doesn't seem to serialize correctly. I've also tried creating a derived version of the UpdateController which implements ISerializable, but this throws an internal error during serialization "{"Cannot serialize member System.ComponentModel.Component.Site of type System.ComponentModel.ISite because it is an interface."}". Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Allan

Hello Allan,

The UpdateController is not serializable so you won't be able to place the entire object in MySettings.

You can still use MySettings to persist the values that you are making configurable though. With the exception of the ProxyAddress property, the proxy related properties are all strings or bools and are pretty straightforward to store in MySettings individually. The ProxyAddress property of the UpdateController is a Uri, so you will have to make a decision to store a string in MySettings or a System.Uri object. Either way you will probably need a little code to to set the properties of the controller from the MySettings values.

If you need further assistance, just let me know.
