My.Settings.Upgrade Stopped Preserving Settings After Visual Studio And Framework Were Upgraded?
Jan 13, 2011The company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.
Settings Overwritten During Upgrade Installations?
Feb 12, 2007is there a way to keep the settings stored in My.Settings from being "reset" during an upgrade installation? Every time I put out a new build of any application using My.Settings the settings in My.Settings are reset to whatever they are in the visual studio designer.
View 12 Replies.net - Automatically "upgrade" User Settings From Previous Version Of App.config File?
Jul 29, 2009Every time I compile my app and the version number changes (I have an auto-incrementing build number), I lose the user-configured app.config settings, since they're stored in the AppData folder for a specific version. Essentially, every release of my application starts from scratch as far as user settings go.
While this is a mild annoyance in development, it raises the question as I approach deployment/release - if I use the app.config to store my user settings, will the user's personalized settings be hosed every time they install a patch that changes the version number of my app? If so, is there an easy way to "upgrade" the settings from the previous release? I know that using HKCU in the registry is another option, but I like the ease of the My.Settings namespace, and I'd like to stay with app.config.
Application.Settings VB 2005 - Save Arrays Using The Settings System Object
Jan 14, 2009I just wondered if you can or can't save arrays using the settings system object. There seems to be no way of entering it at designtime. It seems implied you cannot create new user settings.subobjects at runtime. I'm looking to find the easiest way to save a populated array of PictureBox's. If the only way is a self/custom made/managed .ini file then I need to know so i can start on that but I was hoping to use some of all this phaff in the new frameworks usefully.
View 3 RepliesVS 2005 Get The Upgrade That Was Used To Install A Previous Version
Jul 29, 2009Is it possible to retrieve the pervious upgradeCode that was used to install the same application?
I have given our application to many or our clients.
They install our application using the MSI.
Everytime I release a new version for bug fixes or minor upgrades. In the setup project properties I increment the version number and change the product code (I always leave the same upgrade code). And I set the 'RemovePreviousVersion' to true.
However, a few weeks ago, I accidently changed the upgradeCode and released a new version to our customers. It was only now that a customer wanted to know why they have other instances of the same application in their 'add remove programs'. It installs ok, but they have to uninstall the previous version.
I am wondering is it possible to get back the original upgrade that was used to install those versions. As I used the same setup project, I no longer have that upgrade code?
I still have all my original setups.exe that were built with the original upgradecode

May 30, 2006I support applications in VB6 and VB2003, and I'm trying to upgrade the VB6 app to VB2005, so I have three versions of Visual Studio on my pc. I ran VS2005 and opened the VB6 app to launch the upgrade wizard. It seemed to run fine until it threw an error saying it could not find the project it just created. The project I'm trying to upgrade is called MGxFromSAP.vbp. The error said it could not find MGxFromSAP.vbproj. The project file it actually created is called MGxFromSAP.vbproj.vs7.vbproj. When I try to open this project in VS2005 it says it was created in an earlier version of Visual Studio and needs to be upgraded.Did it perhaps invoke the VB2003 upgrade wizard instead of the new one? How would I be able to tell?
Should I just let VS2005 upgrade the vs7 project or should I try to deinstall the old VS2003 upgrade wizard and rerun the upgrade from scratch?

View 4 RepliesVS 2005 Copy Form Within VB 2005 Project?
Oct 12, 2009I'm attempting to copy a rather complex form from one part of my project and use it (modified) within another part (ie, depending on whether it's maintenance or an outage, you'll get a slightly different email screen).
My first attempt failed miserably, as I had simply right-clicked and pasted the form within the project, assuming renaming the controls would work. nope, I didn't realise that there was stuff in the original form that was renamed as well, and that created a monstrous pile of errors.My second through fourth attempts also failed, generating errors in forms that (I thought) weren't related or connected. Once I deleted the copied form, all was fine.
So, short of trying to rebuild the form from scratch (using a different naming convention for my controls etc.), is there a simple way of doing this? This seems to be such a simple task, but alas I was wrong....(or, at least it's not easy with the information I have right now.

View 5 Replies[2005] Settings Save Even If Re-located?
Mar 12, 2009I always wondered, but is there a way to get My.Settings to save even when you move a program, such as copy it to another location? Maybe its just me but whenever I use My.Settings in an application, copying it into a different directory will reset all the settings, which kind of sucks.Is there anyway to get the values to stay in the application no matter what? If not My.Settings, than is there any way to store a value to a program so that you don't have to use external files, but so that it will remember the settings even when copied?

Mar 6, 2009I noticed that the application settings (user.config) are stored in my AppData directory which is names quite oddly: C:UsersclarkgriswaldAppDataLocalCompanyMyApp10.exe_Url_zwsqzsjtunwuxfkklwa3fcjple4hufb01.0.0. 0 Is there anyway to adjust that path? The main reason is that when I release a new version, I want to copy the old settings into the new application's directory, and with a name like that, it's not really feasible.

View 1 RepliesVS 2005 : User Settings Metric/Imperial XMLserialize?
Apr 1, 2009I am having a bit of an issue and would like some opinions. I have a settings class that I use in my program that gets passed around to various pieces of the program. When the program exits, the settings class is serialized out to an xml file. When the program starts the settings class is serialized back from the xml file.If the program doesn't find an existing xml file, the defaults in the class are used and a new xml file is created when the program exits.This all works well. Here is a trimmed down version of my settings class:
Public NotInheritable Class UserSettings
Private _Length As Double = 10 'feet
Private _Name As String = "Inert Material"
[code]....
The problem that I am having is that if the program units are metric, then the default values are always converted in the constructor and the xml serializer then stuffs the values that exist in the configuration (over writing the converted default value which is what I want) into the proper properties. The reason for this behavior is to make sure that that new properties that don't exist in the xml file have a proper default value when metric units are required.
It seems wasteful to convert all of the default values every time when working with metric units? Is there a better way to do this? My full class has currently about 15 default values that need to be converted to metric equivalents. Ideally I would only like to convert values that haven't come from the xml file.

But that literally makes Array1 access the contents of 2, but I want it to be a separate copy. I'm currently using a simple loop procedure to copy contents but I was hoping there was a command for it. I looked at .Item but there didn't seem to be anything there.

May 7, 2009I have a program I wrote that copies select files from one remote computer to another.
The set up I for testing is, one computer(a) at home running the program connected to my work's network via VPN and two computers(b,c) at work side by side on the same network. I am trying to copy the files on computer b to computer c, while the program is running on computer a.
The only thing wrong with this is, the files seem to be caching to a temp folder on computer a then going to computer c. When it should be going straight from computer b to computer c. Is there a way to keep the files from trying to cache on the computer running the app?

Dec 28, 2010I'm having trouble with copying file with permission. In my program, my objective is just to copy a file to another directory, however I'm having some permission problems with "Access to path denied" error appearing when I run the program. I'm logged on in the computer with an Administrator account, and I kept having that error. I can manually copy the file, with UAC dialog box popping up. (I'm using Server 2008, I don't want changing UAC settings/permissions in the computer)
how can I copy a file to another directory, with an administrator permission? Is this possible? Can you give me a sample code.
Here is the code I used for copying the file.
Dim sourcefile As String = "C:Sample Path Location" & "thefile.exe"
Dim destinationfile As String = "D:Sample Path Location" & "thefile.exe"
System.IO.File.Copy(sourcefile, destinationfile)
