+
+ <p>Since fiddling around with a sequence of property values is somewhat uncomfortable
+ in all known UNO language bindings (especially for tasks like simply changing the value
+ of an existing value), the <member>Settings</member> property wraps the <member>Info</member>
+ property for easier single-value access.</p>
+
+ <p>You should use the <member>Setting</member> property if you need to access a few properties only,
+ and the <member>Info</member> property if you need access to all existent settings at once.</p>
+
+ <p>The object represented by this property supports the <type scope="com::sun::star::beans">PropertyBag</type>
+ service. That is, you can at runtime add arbitrary new properties to the bag.</p>
+
+ <p>Additionally, the property bag supports default values of properties, and thus the
+ <type scope="com::sun::star::beans">XPropertyState</type> interface. If you add an own property to
+ the bag using <member scope="com::sun::star::beans">XPropertyContainer::addProperty</member>, you need
+ to specifiy an initial value, which is also used as default value (exceptions see below).</p>
+
+ <p>Effectively, the property bag represented by <code>Settings</code> contains two classes of properties:
+ Pre-defined ones and user-defined ones.</p>
+
+ <p><em>Pre-defined</em> properties are properties which are potentially used by the data source, the
+ application UI for the data source, or a particular backend driver employed by the data source. There's
+ a large set of such properties, no all of them are effectively used for a concrete data source, nonetheless,
+ they're all present in the <code>Settings</code>.<br/>
+ Such properties are not removeable from the bag, that is, their
+ <member scope="com::sun::star::beans">PropertyAttribute::REMOVEABLE</member> attribute is <em>not</em> set.<br/>
+ Usually, you'll find that all of this properties have the
+ <member scope="com::sun::star::beans::">PropertyState::PropertyState_DEFAULT_VALUE</member> state.</p>
+
+ <p><em>User-defined</em> properties are the ones which are added at runtime by any instance. They might or might
+ not be removeable, this depends on whether or not the code adding them specifies the
+ <member scope="com::sun::star::beans">PropertyAttribute::REMOVEABLE</member> attribute. Also, they might
+ or might not have a default value, determined by the
+ <member scope="com::sun::star::beans">PropertyAttribute::MAYBEDEFAULT</member> attribute at the time they're added
+ to the bag.</p>
+
+ <p>When a data source is made persistent, then properties which are not removeable (which are assumed to be the
+ pre-defined properties) are ignored when they are in <code>DEFAULT</code> state. All other properties are
+ always made persistent, except when an explicit
+ <member scope="com::sun::star::beans">PropertyAttribute::TRANSIENT</member> attribute prohibits this.</p>
+
+ <p>Similar, when you obtain the <member>Info</member> property of a <code>DataSource</code>, the
+ <code>Settings</code> bag is asked for all its property values, and the ones which are removeable and
+ in state default are stripped, and <em>not</em> returned in the <code>Info</code> sequence.</p>
