How to store a list of objects in application settings

Question

I have recently became familiar with C# application settings, and it seems cool.
I was searching for a way to store a list of custom objects, but I couldn\'t find a way!

As Mr.Tigran mentioned You can simply use Newtonsoft.Json Nuget Package to convert your Object(which can be a List or contain a List) using serialization and save it as a string (I made a string variable in Settings with "User Scope" and named it "myString"):

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject);
Properties.Settings.Default.myString = json;
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

To load it we use deserialization :

string json = Properties.Settings.Default.myString;
myObject myobject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
