You can use the event SettingChangingif you need to know before the change occurs:

Properties.Settings.Default.SettingChanging += SettingChanging;

void SettingChanging(object sender, System.Configuration.SettingChangingEventArgs e)
{
    // Do something
}

You can also get a new value by checking e.NewValue.

Otherwise use PropertyChanged:

Properties.Settings.Default.PropertyChanged += SettingChanged;

void SettingChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    // Do something
}
