I have settings saved for the user, but after they update it removes them.

I did some Googling and found this code but it keeps giving me errors on .UpdateRequired that it doesnt exist.

Am I missing an assembly?

if (Settings.Default.UpdateRequired)
            {
                Settings.Default.Update();
                Settings.Default.UpdateRequired = false;
            }

Did you define the boolean flag UpgradeRequired in you settings file? Here is a similar article http://stackoverflow.com/questions/534261/how-do-you-keep-user-config-settings-across-different-assembly-versions-in-net/534335#534335. Hope this helps. – Rob4md Dec 12 '12 at 03:28
