However, in some cases, the application or environment may need to override the settings provider natively used by a component with one of its own choosing. The <see cref="T:System.Configuration.ISettingsProviderService" /> interface enables the creation of a lightweight service that communicates such an alternate settings provider, typically offered through the owning <see cref="T:System.ComponentModel.Container" />. </para><para><see cref="T:System.Configuration.ISettingsProviderService" /> is commonly used by design-time tools and debuggers that provide special support for application settings. To make such an arrangement function seamlessly, the <see cref="T:System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase" /> class contains constructors that take a reference to the owning component. These constructors automatically query for compatible settings providers.</para></remarks><summary><attribution license="cc4" from="Microsoft" modified="false" /><para>Provides an interface for defining an alternate application settings provider.</para></summary></Docs><Members><Member MemberName="GetSettingsProvider"><MemberSignature Language="C#" Value="public System.Configuration.SettingsProvider GetSettingsProvider (System.Configuration.SettingsProperty property);" /><MemberSignature Language="ILAsm" Value=".method public hidebysig newslot virtual instance class System.Configuration.SettingsProvider GetSettingsProvider(class System.Configuration.SettingsProperty property) cil managed" /><MemberType>Method</MemberType><AssemblyInfo><AssemblyVersion>2.0.0.0</AssemblyVersion><AssemblyVersion>4.0.0.0</AssemblyVersion></AssemblyInfo><ReturnValue><ReturnType>System.Configuration.SettingsProvider</ReturnType></ReturnValue><Parameters><Parameter Name="property" Type="System.Configuration.SettingsProperty" /></Parameters><Docs><since version=".NET 2.0" /><remarks><attribution license="cc4" from="Microsoft" modified="false" /><para>The <see cref="M:System.Configuration.ISettingsProviderService.GetSettingsProvider(System.Configuration.SettingsProperty)" /> method enables an <see cref="T:System.Configuration.ISettingsProviderService" /> to offer its serialization services to any sited component.
