I have a NumericUpDown Control on a form. In the Application Settings / Properties Binding, for the value parameter, i can't select my USER setting called : Heures (Integer / User).
[Code]...
But it's not saved.No problem for other settings (String / User). But i don't understand why the settings (Integer / User) are not saved.
Small questions about the settings.settings. Are these settings saved into the registry? I'm want to use and external file for my connection-commands. I don't want to use the registry to store the strings. What do you recommend?

Are My.Settings values saved in the program itself or do they get stored in the registry? o, for example, if I set a My.Settings value with a program, then I copy the program itself to another PC - is the My.Settings value still set?
View 3 RepliesI want to save a Custom DateTimePicker.Value in my Application Settings. The custom format is : dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss, instead of dd/MM/yyyy The field i've created in the application settings parameters is LASTSAVE (DATE / APPLICATION)
When I try to link in the ApplicationSettings/PropertyBinding ... VALUE with my field LASTSAVE, i have an error :
The Value '01/01/0001 00:00:00' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' mustbe ... 'MinDate' et 'MaxDate'.
Name of the parameter : Value
I then entered the MIN and MAX date in the properties of my control DATETIMEPICKER.
I have also put into the properties Value a start date like 23/11/2011 12:00:00 ;
However, when i retry to link in the ApplicationSettings/PropertyBinding ... value to LASTSAVE / I have the same error (The Value '01/01/0001 00:00:00' is not valid for 'Value'. ). I've saved all, do a process that put a value in the datetimepicker.value, but it's not saved, cause not linked.

View 2 RepliesI am writting an application and I used Wizard to create DataSets which auto-created their own xml code. This code uses the saved in My.Settings Connection String. Being a setting with an unchangable 'Application' scope i cannot change its value at runtime.
The problem is that when I install the Application to my customer the Connection String will have to change (maybe more than once). So is there a way to change the Connection String used by these objects at runtime ?
For a NumericUpDown control in VB 2005, how do I distinguish between a change to the numeric value made by the user (by changing the text or clicking the up or down arrows), and a change made internally by my code? The "Scroll" event works for user changes to the TrackBar control, but not for me on the UpDown control, and the ValueChanged event doesn't distinguish the source of the change.
View 8 RepliesI am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..
1. I can't find the file which reflects changes to user settings. This might be because I just can't find it (I can see a bunch of user.config files but they are all empty - weird!), or...
2. I'm not actually saving them when I think I am.
Regarding 2. - do I need to invoke
Is this all I need? And if so, why are my user.configs empty?
how to reset user settings in My.Settings to the default value, because when i checked if the user settings works i have altered the settings so now i want the settings to go back to default, because i am going to distribute the software.

when does this file get created?
i searched my entire hardrive. i also searched the entire project.
I am attempting to create an application in an attempt so it could be run as the user and preserve individual settings, by this what i am trying to achieve is when the application is installed, it is installed once but each user has their own settings saved within their own profile - a bit like Office applications. How could i start with this?
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to save a collection of key/value settings in my application's "user settings" (they're column widths), but while I see no errors, when I run the code (in the IDE) my collection in "My.Settings" is always nothing at startup.

View 1 RepliesSo, I've created a form that allows for the user to save his or her settings after closing it. When using Visual Basics to run the program, there is no problem and it works wonders.Here is the problem.When I run the program not in Visual Basics, when I go to open the form, it fails. At first, it was because I didn't update the configuration file to include the new settings. Which was dumb, of course, but I updated the file and made sure to put it with the program.

While the code is running this works. But after a restart of the application the new value is not persisted.
I'd like to know if there's a better way to read/write various user settings to disk. My program loads up a bunch of settings during load but also during execution from a few different forms, encrypted string values, boolean values, different types. The code seems to work okay but I have a feeling it's just not the best way to be doing this. Some of the settings are encrypted strings that have to be decrypted/encrypted so the code to read/write the text file is a bit different on some items. The data read from disk usually goes to a public string, a textbox, or a up/down type control. Below is about 1/10th of the settings that get loaded/written at various times. Anyone have a better way that might be more efficient that I should look at?

So, I've created a form that allows for the user to save his or her settings after closing it. When using Visual Basics to run the program, there is no problem and it works wonders. When I run the program not in Visual Basics, when I go to open the form, it fails. At first, it was because I didn't update the configuration file to include the new settings. Which was dumb, of course, but I updated the file and made sure to put it with the program.
However, when I opened the program again, it failed. So, I tried putting an error message in the form so I know why it failed. This time, it would come back saying "Error Occurred. The Following Error Occurred:" and that is it. No details at all why it was having any problems reading my new user settings. Once again, the user settings work fine in visual studios. It has the updated configuration file in the same place it is.
I am trying to save a custom object as a user setting in a VB.net app. This object consists of a List(Of Pair(Of String, Object)). Pair is a custom class which has two read/write properties (a String and an Object).
If I put simple types like int, string, datetime as the second value of my pair, the setting is saved without any problem. But if I try to put something more complex, like a list, there seems to be a problem during serialization and my setting is not saved.
String values in my pairs are serialized like this:
<value1>Priority_1</value1>
Object values are serialized with a special attribute:
<value2 xsi:type="xsd:int">2</value2>
Seems like values of type Object are serialized differently, to "remember" what is the real type of the object. Why can't it do the same for more complex types like List(Of T)?
Okay so i have a problem with saving the users settings. Okay i have about 50 check boxes on my frm1.So for example if the user clicks on check boxes 1 and 2 the next time when the user starts the program i want check box 1 and 2 to be checked
