-## Remarks  
- The .NET Framework contains a single default settings provider, <xref:System.Configuration.LocalFileSettingsProvider>, which stores configuration data to the local file system in files with the extension `.config`. The contents of configuration files are structured as XML documents. User-scoped settings are persisted in a file with the name `username.config`. Within this file, data is stored as elements within a `<userSettings>` section. Each of these sections is represented by a corresponding <xref:System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection>. Each section object is owned and administered by a configuration section handler, which is an <xref:System.Configuration.IConfigurationSectionHandler>.  
-  
- The <xref:System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection> class represents a simple extension of the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection> class, which is used in the .NET Framework support for general configuration files.

- Different settings providers may have different requirements or limitations on the use of the <xref:System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute>. For example, the <xref:System.Configuration.LocalFileSettingsProvider> does not require this attribute, and will override any value provided by this attribute if there are any values - default or user-modified -  already present in the data store.

- <xref:System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute> requires that the default value can be represented as a string. As a result, settings using XML serialization cannot have a default value specified by means of this attribute.
