Just to start, this is not an Android related question. I found a bunch of questions related to this when I searched the net, but they all had to do with Android programming. I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and C# to develop a Windows Form UI, and I noticed that one of the files after I compiled is AppName_preferences.xml. What is that file used for? I've also noticed that some of my other GUI Windows apps don't use that file. Do I need it? Is it a Visual Studio related file? My current compilation seems to recreate it if I delete that file, but I need to install the application in a directory that can't be written to. Thanks for any and all assistance.
What I have tried:
I've tried searching the interwebs :) for an _preferences.xml file, but all those references have to do with some sort of Android preferences file (so that wasn't it).
