When to bind WPF controls to settings

At Sometimes, i want to show program verion in my application. And I wrote it in Application settings ("Settings.Settings"). How could I do that? If we don't know how to bind it, we have to write twice at each time upgrading our programs. Jerome Laban and Michael jp posted how to do that with different approaches.

Method 1: using resource declaration

I simplify the method 1. First, write a string you want to show like this.

Secondly, add namespace for application settings. and declare a setting object in the resource
<window x:class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:settings="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1.Properties" title="Window1" height="300" width="300"> <window.resources> <settings:settings x:key="settings"> </settings:settings></window.resources> </window>
Lastly, bind a control to the Settings object like this.
<textblock text="{Binding Source={StaticResource settings},Path=Default.Version}">

Method 2: using x:Static keyword

Or if you want to bind it as a static, just do like this.
First, declare the namespace for application settings. it is the same with method 1.
xmlns:Properties="clr-namespace:WindowsApplication1.Properties" Second, bind the control to the settings using x:Static keyword like this.
<textblock name="textps" text="{Binding Path=Setting1, Source={x:Static Properties:Settings.Default}}">
