      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Configuration.SettingsSerializeAs" /> enumeration is used to specify the serialization mechanism used by the application settings provider to persist the values of application settings properties. For example, the <see cref="T:System.Configuration.SettingsSerializeAsAttribute" /> uses this enumeration in its constructor to request that a property or group of properties be persisted using the specified serialization mechanism.</para>
