What has changed and “My.Settings.CommPort” doesn't work?
I'm following a Visual Basic 2013 instructions video to create an ASCOM driver using a template in Visual Studio 2017, but I'm getting an error saying "'CommPort' is not a member of 'MySettings'." Has something changed so that I can't use it as written or is there a setting that I'm missing?
I tried searching for My.Settings.CommPort and the "My.Settings object" language reference page but couldn't find anything.
The part of the code where it is found is the following.
If value Then
' TODO connect to the device
Dim comPort As String = My.Settings.CommPort
objSerial = New ASCOM.Utilities.Serial
objSerial.Port = 3
objSerial.Speed = 57600
objSerial.Connected = True
Else
In the video I'm following it builds just fine but I'm getting the error
BC30456 'CommPort' is not a member of 'MySettings'.

TheMy.Settingsobject is used to store and access application settings. The author of the video tutorial you're following must've created an entry in the settings calledCommPort, that's why they could access it while you can't. Therefore, you need to do the same thing. To add/edit entries inMy.Settings, open the Project menu and select properties, then head to the 'Settings" tab, type the name of the setting (CommPort) and select its type (which should be a string in this case).
