CategorizedSettingsBaseTValueExpressionAttribute, TCategorizedSettings Class

Represents the base class for application settings that are synchronized with a categorized section in a configuration file and will perform bi-directional synchronization of elements marked with TValueExpressionAttribute to an external source, e.g., user interface elements.
