# Properties
## Documentation: HamburgerMenu.Properties.Settings
---
### 1. Purpose
This module provides strongly-typed application settings infrastructure for the `HamburgerMenu` module via the `Settings` class, which inherits from `System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase`. It enables centralized, type-safe access to user- or application-scoped configuration values (though no settings are currently defined in the generated file). The module exists solely to support configuration management for the HamburgerMenu UI component and is auto-generated by Visual Studios settings designer—meaning manual edits are discouraged and will be overwritten on regeneration.
---
### 2. Public Interface
#### `HamburgerMenu.Properties.Settings.Default`
- **Type**: `static property`
- **Signature**: `public static Settings Default { get; }`
- **Behavior**: Returns the singleton instance of the `Settings` class, synchronized for thread safety (via `ApplicationSettingsBase.Synchronized`). This is the canonical entry point for accessing settings values.
- **Note**: As the class is auto-generated and contains no explicit settings properties in the provided source, no user-defined settings (e.g., `public string SomeSetting { get; set; }`) are exposed here. Any settings would appear as instance properties on the `Settings` class in the full generated file.
---
### 3. Invariants
- The `Settings` class is **sealed** and **partial**, with thread-safe singleton access enforced via `Synchronized`.
- The `defaultInstance` field is initialized once during type initialization and never reassigned.
- The class inherits from `ApplicationSettingsBase`, which enforces standard .NET settings semantics (e.g., per-user Roaming/Local scope, automatic persistence via config files).
- No validation or custom invariants are defined in the provided source—only those implied by `ApplicationSettingsBase`.
---
### 4. Dependencies
#### Dependencies *of* this module:
- `System.Configuration` (for `ApplicationSettingsBase`)
- `System.Runtime.CompilerServices` (for `CompilerGeneratedAttribute`)
- `System.CodeDom.Compiler` (for `GeneratedCodeAttribute`)
- `System.Runtime.InteropServices` (via `AssemblyInfo.cs`, for COM interop attributes)
#### Dependencies *on* this module:
- Other modules in the `HamburgerMenu` assembly (e.g., UI components) may consume `Settings.Default` to read/write configuration values.
- The `HamburgerMenu` assembly itself (as defined by `AssemblyInfo.cs`) is the sole consumer context—no external dependencies are declared in this module.
---
### 5. Gotchas
- **Auto-generated**: The file header explicitly warns that manual changes will be lost upon regeneration. Do not modify this file directly.
- **No settings defined**: The provided source contains only the boilerplate `Settings` class skeleton. No actual settings properties (e.g., `public bool ShowMenuIcons { get; set; }`) are present—settings must be defined in the projects `.settings` designer file (`.Designer.cs` is regenerated from `.settings`).
- **Thread-safety overhead**: `Synchronized()` wraps the instance in a `LocalFileSettingsProvider`-compatible proxy, but this adds minimal overhead and is standard for `ApplicationSettingsBase`.
- **Versioning**: Assembly version is fixed at `1.0.0.0` (both `AssemblyVersion` and `AssemblyFileVersion`), which may complicate deployment or rollback if settings schema evolves.
- **COM visibility**: `ComVisible(false)` is set—this is appropriate for a .NET UI module but could cause issues if COM consumers expect settings access (unlikely).
None identified beyond the above.
