title: Store String Array with Values in Application Settings
body: <p>I've modified my Settings.settings file in order to have <code>system_Filters</code> be a <code>System.String[]</code>.<br>
  I would like to populate this variable within the Visual Studio designer and not from within the code. I can get it to work within the code using the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Properties.Settings.Default.system_Filters = new string[] { "a", "b", "c" };
  string _systemFilters = Properties.Settings.Default.system_Filters;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works correctly. However, I don't have a <em>nice</em> place to put this in my code and ideally want to type it in the Settings.setting file. This value will not be modified. I've tried almost every variant I can think of, but the result is always the same.</p>

  <p>Does anyone know the correct syntax? I'm also open to using a <code>StringCollection</code> if that's easier.</p>
