Accessing Application Settings Created In VS2005 Designer

I have added some user scope level variables in my Windows Forms
Application. However, I can't seem to access them.

From the doc's I found that you should be able to access them via
Configuration.Settings.Default
which did not work for me. Than I found another reference that you
could use Properties.Settings.Default and that did not work either.
Both give errors that "Properties" does not exist in this context or
that I am missing namespaces.

Any examples or idea's on what is needed to access those properties?

Amy.
