Is deleting or changing application settings possible?

Question

Is there a way to change the name of a setting through code? I have a setting in my application named "SMTP". I would like to change it, or even delete the setting entirely if a end-user meets a certain criteria. Is this possible through code? If so, how could I go about that? Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can change the name of the setting programatically either. If you're wanting more flexibility you might be better creating your own settings file (either text or XML) which you can manipulate as you like and then save it back to the application folder.

I know I can change the value of the setting that way but I want to change the Name of the actually setting itself......thanks for chiming in Vulpes

If the setting is 'User scope' as opposed to 'Application scope' then you should be able to change it using code: My.Settings.SMTP = whatever My.Settings.Save() However I don't think there's a way to delete it altogether using code.
