Space as string in user settings file

[C# Programming]

End Google Ads 201810 - BS.net 01 --> Hi All,

I have an interesting issue writing strings to the user settings, i.e. [project].Properties.Settings.Default.[property]. Everything goes smoothly unless I try to write a single space as a string. It appears in the file as:






On the next load, it reads as a few unprintable chars and a lot of spaces. But other strings work fine. I'm not quite sure what I have wrong since it works with other strings

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
