Re: System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer Saving the splitter locati

Actually if you add settings to a dll the settings magically get stored with
the exe's settings and also get magically loaded back into the dll that is
referenced by the exe the next time it is run. (this wouldn't be ideal at
times when you want the control to display the same when referenced in
multiple EXEs on the same computer)

Also when binding the splitterposition property in vs2005 the splitter
behaves badly when changing other bound properties. I use the dll settings
but only save them for the splitter on close.

You can do that without a single line of code.

Just add a "(PropertyBinding)" on the 'SplitterDistance' property in the
"(ApplicationSettings)" node of the splitcontainer control's properties
window.
