How do I save/serialize a custom class to the settings file?

Question

I have a small class that holds two strings as follows:

    public class ReportType
    {
        private string displayName;
        public string DisplayNa         


        

Answer 1

Just a bit more clear code then Charlie's

public class ReportType
{
  public static ReportType CreateDefaults()
  {
    return new ReportType
    {
       DisplayName =  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DefaultDisplayName"],
       ReportName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DefaultReportName"]
    };
  }
}
