Properties.Settings gives error :"0, 0 is not a valid value for Int32"

Happens everytime, don't know why...
Take a form... In properties: ApplicationSettings...Location...new...opens up a standard window to pick a New Application Setting...Take the default value 0;0 or make that anything you want and then somehow that 0;0 turns into 0,0.
Now when I edit it in the Settings.settings and type in 0;0 instead of 0,0 ...pop-up says cann't convert 300;00 to an instance of System.Drawing.Size...

Am I missing something

ps: this is the place where the error occurs.

[global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()]

            get {

            set {
                this["location"] = value;
            }
        }

System.Exception was unhandled

Installed the Beta 2 instead of the CTP and the "0,0" "0;0"-problem was fixed.
But the little thing with the Tooltips is still a bit strange. Well, maybe it was design that way.

Found a way around it ...

If I change the "0,0" to "0;0" in the line

[global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("0, 0")]

it works.

But I have to do that for all the size,points properties.
Should go on automatic...No

Why is it that you want to use "0;0" instead of "0,0". The latter is the standard way of describing Point's as a string, and is the best way to enter values for settings of type Point (as the Location property is). What is the end goal of what you are trying to do

I donn't want to use "0;0" instead of "0,0". It's just that when I accept all the standard offerings when running through the ApplicationSettings I get the error that I explained in my first post. I cann't run my program. Only after I manually change all the , into ; then it compiles and runs.
Put another way... Somehow all the settings that relate to type Point gets me into problems with "0;0" and"0,0" mix ups.
And the end goal is simple to keep the size and the location of the form in this Properties.Settings.settings.Default. But somehow it doesn't quite work as I expect. But maybe it's because im running the Feb CTP

On a different note...
(I'm running the feb CTP) ...
Put a Tooltip on a form and hook up some tooltips. NowI want to use the Tooltip.Active property in the ApplicationSettings so that I can choose to have tooltips display or not. When I change that value the tooltips don't automatically appear or disapear. If I do the same thing for let's say a button.Backcolor, And I change the property in The ApplicationSettings, the button.backcolor gets updated instantly. Not so with the tooltips.

txs for listening.

I can't seems to reproduce either of these problems in Beta2, so perhaps they have been fixed since the CTP. That said I may not be fully understanding what you are trying to do.
